Today's LinkedIn Queens Answer

LinkedIn Queens is a crown-placement logic puzzle with rows, columns, color regions, and adjacency rules. The solved grid shows exactly where each queen belongs.

Use the board when one region is forcing the rest of the puzzle. A single queen placement can eliminate several rows, columns, and neighboring cells.

How to Play

Queens asks you to place one queen, shown as a crown, in every row, every column, and every colored region. No two queens can touch, including diagonally.

The colored regions are the key difference from normal N-Queens. A row or column may have several possible cells, but each region still needs exactly one queen. Marking impossible cells with Xs helps because one confirmed queen immediately rules out its row, column, region, and all adjacent cells.

Start with tiny or awkward regions because they usually have fewer legal cells. Then look for rows or columns where every option but one has been eliminated. Good Queens solving is mostly about removing impossible cells before placing the next crown.
