Queens · One queen in every row, column and color region, none touching · puzzle #879
Stuck on today's LinkedIn Queens? Three progressive hints come first, then the full solution — tap to reveal as much or as little as you want. Other games today: Mini Sudoku · Patches · Wend · Zip · Tango · Pinpoint · Crossclimb.
Queens #879 has 9 regions on a 9×9 board, from 4 cells up to 27. Nothing is forced outright; the 4-cell cyan region is the cheapest place to start. Every queen you place removes its row, its column, the cells around it and the rest of its region; mark them and the board shrinks fast.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Look at the cyan region (4 cells, starting at row 3, column 4) first: it is the smallest, only 4 cells, so its queen has 4 possible spots. Its queen lands in row 3.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Row 3, column 5 takes the first queen; row 3, column 5 and the cyan region are now done.
Hint 3: nearly there
Now count row 2: just 6 cells survive, and the queen is at row 2, column 2. Keep doing that row by row.
Solution
Tap any part to reveal it, or reveal everything at once.
