Queens #918 hints and answers for Wednesday, November 4, 2026
7 queens on a 7x7 board, one in every row, column and color region, and one of them lands in a corner. The hints below climb from the corners to the top half of the solution - take only as many as you need.
Hints, in order
Hint 0 of 4Tap to show one hint at a time. Stop as soon as you have enough.
One queen sits in a corner of the board: row 7, column 1.
No two queens touch, even diagonally, so consecutive rows always jump by at least one column - today every jump is two or more, with no repeats anywhere.
Rows 1 and 7 open and close the solution in columns 4 and 1.
The top half of the board, rows 1 to 3, uses columns 4, 7, 3 in that order.
The solution
Every queen's column, row by row. Only tap if you are ready.
Columns by row, 1 to 7: 4, 7, 3, 5, 2, 6, 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; it does not draw the region map.
