Hints, in order

One queen sits in a corner today: the bottom-left.
The top row's queen sits in the Green region, and the bottom row's queen sits in the Red region.
No two queens touch, even diagonally, so consecutive rows always jump by at least two columns - today's jumps run from 2 to 4 columns.
The top half of the board, rows 1 to 4, uses columns 6, 2, 5, 3 in that order.
The solution
Every queen's column, row by row, with the region each queen sits in. Only tap if you are ready.
Columns by row, 1 to 7: 6, 2, 5, 3, 7, 4, 1. No two queens share a row, column or region, and no two touch, not even diagonally.
How Queens works
Queens is LinkedIn's region logic puzzle. The board is carved into colored regions, and you place exactly one queen in every row, every column and every region - with no two queens touching, not even diagonally. There is always exactly one solution, and it is always reachable by logic alone. This page gives each queen's position and region; it does not draw the region map.
