A 7-queen board today; the regions range from 4 cells to 19. Nothing is forced outright; the 4-cell region that includes row 1, column 5 is the cheapest place to start. 1 of the queens sit a knight's move from the one in the row above; not a rule, just the shape of today's answer.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Look at the 4-cell region that includes row 1, column 5 first: it has just 4 cells; try each one and watch what it rules out. Its queen lands in row 2.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Row 2, column 7 takes the first queen, which clears the rest of row 2, the rest of column 7 and the rest of its region.
Hint 3: nearly there
Now count row 1: just 4 cells survive, and the queen is at row 1, column 4. Keep doing that row by row.
