Queens #911 hints and answers for Wednesday, October 28, 2026
Seven queens on a 7x7 board, and Wednesday's solution keeps every queen off the corners - the middle of the board does all the work. The hints below climb from the shape of the solution to its top half - take only as many as you need.
Hints, in order

No queen sits in a corner today - all seven live in the board's interior rows and columns.
The top row's queen sits in the Pastel Green region, and the bottom row's queen sits in the Peach Orange region.
Two queens hug the left and right edges without touching a corner: row 3 runs to column 7, and row 6 pulls back to column 1.
The top half of the board, rows 1 to 3, uses columns 6, 2 and 7 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, 7, 5, 3, 1, 4. 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.
