#912: 8 rows, 8 colors, 8 queens, and the usual rule that queens never touch. Nothing is forced outright; the 4-cell region that includes row 2, column 4 is the cheapest place to start. 2 different regions touch the four corners, which makes at least one corner easy to rule out.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Look at the 4-cell region that includes row 2, column 4 first: it with 4 cells is where a guess costs the least. Its queen lands in row 2.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Place the first queen at row 2, column 4. That one move rules out 18 other cells.
Hint 3: nearly there
Row 1 is next, down to 5 options; the queen sits at row 1, column 8.
