Queens #878 is 8×8: one queen per row, per column and per colored region, and no two queens may touch, not even diagonally. The red region never leaves column 1. The blue region is the biggest, 37 cells; leave it for last, it will take whatever cell is left.

Hints

Hint 1: where to start

The red region sits entirely in column 1, so that column's queen must be one of its 4 cells. That queen ends up in row 3.

Hint 2: a solid foothold

Place the first queen at row 3, column 1. That one move rules out 16 other cells.

Hint 3: nearly there

Row 2 is next, down to 6 options; the queen sits at row 2, column 6.

Solution

Tap any part to reveal it, or reveal everything at once.
