Queens is a LinkedIn logic puzzle. Place exactly one crown in each colored region, with no two crowns in the same row or column.
Start with the most constrained regions. Look for cells where a crown can fit without breaking the row or column rules. After each placement, check its row and column and eliminate those cells from other regions. Continue until every region has one crown and no row or column has more than one.
Regions with fewer legal positions narrow your choices faster. If a region spans only two or three cells, placing its crown early prevents conflicts later. Once that crown is down, its row and column become off-limits to other regions, which can force additional placements elsewhere on the board.
Scan rows and columns after every move
A crown that looks safe within its region may block a row or column another region depends on. Before committing your next placement, trace the affected row and column across the entire grid. This habit catches potential dead ends before they trap you.
Tips for a Perfect result
The game awards a Perfect card when you solve without hints, reveals, or auto-placement. Turn off any assistance features before starting if you want that designation. LinkedIn notes that solve times can vary slightly depending on device type, so the result card focuses on method rather than raw speed.
