What is the Queens puzzle?
Queens is a logic puzzle played on a grid of colored regions. Your goal is to place exactly one queen in every row, every column, and every color region, with the extra twist that no two queens may touch each other, not even diagonally. Every puzzle has a single solution that can be reached by pure deduction, so you never have to guess.
Unlike the once-a-day versions elsewhere, this site generates a fresh puzzle every time you press New Puzzle, in six board sizes from a quick 7×7 warm-up to a demanding 12×12. There is also a daily challenge shared by every player, with a streak counter to keep you honest. Everything is free, works on phones and desktops, and your progress is saved automatically in your browser.
