Queens by LinkedIn
Instructions
At the beginning of each Queens game puzzle, you'll see a board divided into several colored regions. Your goal is to fill the grid so that there is only one Queen in each row, column, and colored region, and no two Queens are touching, even diagonally.
You'll usually start with a Queen or two filled in. Based on this, you can eliminate possible locations for other Queens. Using the rules above, mark all the squares where a Queen can't be by clicking on them once. TIP: You can mark a bunch of tiles at the same time by clicking and dragging vertically or horizontally across several squares.
Once you've figured out where a Queen can be, click that square twice to place a Queen. Now you can eliminate more tiles and place more Queens. Keep going until you've placed one Queen into each colored region. If you've placed all the Queens correctly, you'll automatically win the game. (You don't need to fill in all the X's to win).
Sometimes you'll start without any Queens on the board. In this case, you'll have to look at the board carefully to figure out where the first Queen is!

Do I have to guess to win Queens?
Since Queens is a game that should be based off of skill instead of luck, it is unlikely that you will need to guess. Make sure that you go through your checklist and see if you've done everything you can do before guessing. One of the key rules that people forget is that there can't be two queens adjacent to one another, so make sure to use that information before making a guess.
How often is there a new Queens puzzle?
Queens is a daily game, meaning that there is only one new puzzle per day. Come back each day to take on the puzzle and add to your daily streak. This can be a great way to improve your morning routine and get your braining moving in a way that is both enjoyable and challenging.
