7 queens to place in Queens #881, one in each row, column and region, none touching. There is a one-cell region at row 7, column 7; start there. 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 (1 cells, starting at row 7, column 7) first: it has only one cell: that queen is free. Its queen lands in row 7.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Row 7, column 7 takes the first queen; row 7, column 7 and the cyan region are now done.
Hint 3: nearly there
Now count row 6: just 5 cells survive, and the queen is at row 6, column 3. Keep doing that row by row.
Solution
Tap any part to reveal it, or reveal everything at once.
