7 queens to place in Queens #895, one in each row, column and region, none touching. The 5-cell region that includes row 7, column 1 never leaves row 7. In the finished grid 4 of the 7 queens sit on the outer edge.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
The 5-cell region that includes row 7, column 1 sits entirely in row 7, so that row's queen must be one of its 5 cells. That queen ends up in row 7.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Put a queen on row 7, column 3 and cross off the 14 cells it attacks or shares a region with.
Hint 3: nearly there
After that, row 6 has only 4 legal cells left: its queen goes at row 6, column 5. The remaining rows then fall one by one.
