Stuck on today's LinkedIn Queens? The answer is right above. Below, how today's puzzle works and three hints, if you'd rather solve it yourself. Other games today: Mini Sudoku · Patches · Wend · Zip · Tango · Pinpoint · Crossclimb.
Queens #887 is 9×9: one queen per row, per column and per colored region, and no two queens may touch, not even diagonally. The smallest region is the lime one with 4 cells. The purple region is the biggest, 24 cells; leave it for last, it will take whatever cell is left.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
The lime region has just 4 cells; try each one and watch what it rules out. That queen ends up in row 8.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Place the first queen at row 8, column 2. That one move rules out 20 other cells.
Hint 3: nearly there
Row 7 is next, down to 6 options; the queen sits at row 7, column 5.
