Queens #882 is 8×8: one queen per row, per column and per colored region, and no two queens may touch, not even diagonally. One region is a single cell, at row 8, column 1. The red region is the biggest, 16 cells; leave it for last, it will take whatever cell is left.

Hints

Hint 1: where to start

The orange region is a single cell, so its queen is a gift. That queen ends up in row 8.

Hint 2: a solid foothold

Place the first queen at row 8, column 1. That one move rules out 15 other cells.

Hint 3: nearly there

Row 7 is next, down to 6 options; the queen sits at row 7, column 5.

Solution

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