About Queens #811
- Queens #811 is played on a 7×7 grid with 7 colored regions.
- The smallest region covers 1 square and the largest covers 36.
- 5 regions lie entirely inside a single row or column, which reserves that line for it.
- It has 7 regions, fewer than the average of 9.0 across the previous 1 puzzles.
- The only single-square region is just R1C1, so its queen has no choice and goes there; that placement clears the rest of row 1, column 1 and every square touching R1C1.
- The 2-square region in row 2 lies entirely in that row, so row 2's queen belongs to that region and the rest of row 2 is ruled out, including R2C3.
- The 3-square region in row 3 lies entirely in that row, so row 3's queen belongs to that region and the rest of row 3 is ruled out, including R3C2.
