Queens #906 is 8×8: one queen per row, per column and per colored region, and no two queens may touch, not even diagonally. Nothing is forced outright; the 4-cell region that includes row 3, column 3 is the cheapest place to start. Every queen you place removes its row, its column, the cells around it and the rest of its region; mark them and the board shrinks fast.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Look at the 4-cell region that includes row 3, column 3 first: it is the smallest, only 4 cells, so its queen has 4 possible spots. Its queen lands in row 4.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Put a queen on row 4, column 3 and cross off the 18 cells it attacks or shares a region with.
Hint 3: nearly there
After that, row 3 has only 5 legal cells left: its queen goes at row 3, column 6. The remaining rows then fall one by one.
