How to play Queens Puzzle
Place exactly one queen in every row, every column and every coloured region. Two queens may never touch — not even diagonally.
- Tap a cell to cycle: empty → ✕ (marked as "no queen") → 👑 queen → empty.
- Right-click or long-press places or removes a queen directly.
- Drag across cells to paint (or erase) ✕ marks quickly.
- Keyboard: arrow keys move the cursor, Space cycles, X places a queen, Ctrl+Z undoes.
Conflicting queens turn red. Auto ✕ shades every cell a queen already rules out. Check highlights mistakes, Hint places one correct queen. Every puzzle has exactly one solution, so it can always be solved by logic.
Tips
Start with the smallest regions. If a region lies entirely within one row or column, every other cell of that row or column can be crossed out. A queen also rules out the 8 cells around it.
