What you are solving
Queens goal and answer format
Place queens so every row, every column, and every colored region contains exactly one, with no two queens touching—even diagonally.
The answer is the complete queen placement. The useful proof is not a screenshot alone but the elimination chain showing why every queen is forced by rows, columns, regions, and adjacency.

A repeatable solve
Four-step Queens strategy
Start with narrow regions spanning very few rows or columns.
Mark all cells eliminated by every confirmed queen.
Look for a row, column, or region with one remaining candidate.
Use paired candidates to remove cells from crossing regions.
Avoid the tiny traps
Common mistakes
- Remembering chess diagonals but forgetting LinkedIn’s immediate-touch rule.
- Placing two queens in one colored region even when rows differ.
- Guessing in a large region before exploiting a smaller constrained region.
Our daily-answer policy
Accuracy first, archive second
Our scheduled monitor checks the public daily board and publishes an answer only after a game-specific validator proves the complete solution. A failed or partial response leaves the previous verified edition in place instead of replacing it with a guess.
Pinpoint, CrossClimb, Queens, Tango, Zip, and Mini Sudoku now have automated checks. Wend and Patches remain under active monitoring while their newer public solution format is verified.
