Queens #909 is 8×8: one queen per row, per column and per colored region, and no two queens may touch, not even diagonally. One region, the 2-cell region that includes row 1, column 1, is confined to a single row. 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 2-cell region that includes row 1, column 1 first: it never leaves row 1, which pins that row's queen to 2 cells. Its queen lands in row 1.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Put a queen on row 1, column 1 and cross off the 15 cells it attacks or shares a region with.
Hint 3: nearly there
After that, row 2 has only 6 legal cells left: its queen goes at row 2, column 7. The remaining rows then fall one by one.
