9 queens to place in Queens #901, one in each row, column and region, none touching. The smallest region has 3 cells and includes row 7, column 8. A region that stretches along a single row or column locks that whole line for its queen.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
The 3-cell region that includes row 7, column 8 with 3 cells is where a guess costs the least. That queen ends up in row 8.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Place the first queen at row 8, column 7. 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 1.
