Queens is a logic game played on a square board separated by several colored sections. The aim is to place the queens properly such that there is precisely one queen in each row, column, and color area. There is one special restriction about spacing: you can't have two queens close to each other, even diagonally. Queens is all about deduction, with fast-paced yet tough rounds that need a keen eye and some math. Join Queens today!

Queens Rules—A Strategic Brain Teaser

The rules of Queens are simple yet combine to create an engaging puzzle. Players must place one queen in each row and column on an 8x8 board. Between every colored area, there must be one queen. Crucially, no two queens may be placed adjacent to one another—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Therefore, a placement that seems valid for a specific row or color region might still be incorrect if it causes a conflict with another queen. Conquer every challenge!

Controls

  • Click a cell: Mark the cell as a spot where a queen cannot be placed.
  • Click again: Place a queen in the selected cell.
  • Third click: Clear the mark or queen from the cell.
  • Drag across cells: Quickly mark multiple cells as unusable.
  • Drag back over marked cells: Remove the marks. Tap any cell along a marked path: This cuts the path at that point, allowing you to continue the action.

Queens Difficulty Levels

Queens: The difficulty of Queens rises with the number of regions and the complexity of the cell layout. At lower levels, players will need to find areas with just a few remaining possibilities or those restricted to a single row or column. At higher levels of difficulty, players must find linkages between many areas at once—for instance, when two or more regions are confined to a certain set of rows or columns.

Smart Strategies for Solving Queens

  • Examine the smallest colored regions on the board.
  • If a region has only one viable cell, that cell is definitely the queen's position.
  • If a region has only 2–3 viable cells, cross-reference them with rows and columns to eliminate possibilities.
  • Pay attention to regions where the cells are confined to a single row or column.
  • When a region's remaining cells all lie along the same line, the queen for that region must be placed on that line.
  • After placing a queen, eliminate unusable cells in the same row, column, and adjacent spaces.
