About Queens #810
- Queens #810 is played on a 9×9 grid with 9 colored regions.
- The smallest region covers 5 squares and the largest covers 21.
- No region fits inside a single row or column, so the first placements come from region shapes.
- Every open square in row 9 belongs to the only 21-square region, so that region's queen sits in row 9 and its squares outside row 9 are ruled out, such as R5C8.
- The 6-square region in rows 1–3, the 7-square region in rows 1–3, and the only 5-square region only have open squares in rows 1, 2, and 3, so they take all three queens of those rows and every other square there is ruled out, such as R1C9.
- The 7-square region in rows 5–8, the only 5-square region, and the 7-square region containing R2C1 only have open squares in columns 1, 2, and 3, so they take all three queens of those columns and every other square there is ruled out, such as R2C3.
