How to play LinkedIn Queens
Queens is a placement puzzle on a square grid that is split into colored regions. Your goal is to place exactly one queen in every row, every column and every colored region.
There is one extra rule that makes it tricky: no two queens may touch, not even diagonally. That means every queen rules out its entire row, its entire column, its region and the eight squares around it.
A good way in is to look for regions that sit entirely inside one row or one column. That row or column is then reserved for that region, so you can cross off every other square in it. Repeat this elimination until only one square remains for a queen.
LinkedIn Queens FAQ
When does the new LinkedIn Queens puzzle come out?
A new Queens puzzle is released every day at midnight Pacific Time (PT), and its number goes up by one each day. This page switches to the new puzzle shortly after it goes live.
Is there only one solution to each Queens puzzle?
Yes. Every Queens answer on this site is computed by our own solver from the day's grid, and it is only published after the solver confirms exactly one valid solution exists.
Can two queens touch diagonally in LinkedIn Queens?
No. Queens may not touch at all, including diagonally, so each queen blocks the eight squares around it as well as its row, column and colored region.
What do R and C mean in the Queens text answer?
R is the row and C is the column, both counted from the top-left corner. R1C6 means the queen sits in row 1, column 6. The answer lists one queen per row, from top to bottom.
