How to play Queens
Choose one square in each row, column and colour region. Place a queen on each chosen square. Queens must stay apart, including at diagonal corners.
Check the row, column and colour region before placing each queen, then check the neighbouring squares for conflicts. A position can satisfy one rule and still break another. Our Queens solution includes both a completed board and a row-by-row list of queen positions.
