Queens · One queen in every row, column and color region, none touching · puzzle #885
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 #885 has 8 regions on a 8×8 board, from 4 cells up to 32. Nothing is forced outright; the 4-cell red region is the cheapest place to start. 3 of the queens sit a knight's move from the one in the row above; not a rule, just the shape of today's answer.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Look at the 4-cell red region first: it has just 4 cells; try each one and watch what it rules out. Its queen lands in row 1.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Place the first queen at row 1, column 3. That one move rules out 17 other cells.
Hint 3: nearly there
Row 2 is next, down to 4 options; the queen sits at row 2, column 6.
Solution
Tap any part to reveal it, or reveal everything at once.
