Queens #893 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 has 5 cells and includes row 1, column 4. In the finished grid 2 of the 9 queens sit on the outer edge.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
The 5-cell region that includes row 1, column 4 is the smallest, only 5 cells, so its queen has 5 possible spots. That queen ends up in row 2.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Put a queen on row 2, column 5 and cross off the 20 cells it attacks or shares a region with.
Hint 3: nearly there
After that, row 1 has only 6 legal cells left: its queen goes at row 1, column 1. The remaining rows then fall one by one.
