About Queens #812
- Queens #812 is played on an 8×8 grid with 8 colored regions.
- The smallest region covers 2 squares and the largest covers 34.
- 7 regions lie entirely inside a single row or column, which reserves that line for it.
- It has 8 regions, the same as the average of 8.0 across the previous 2 puzzles.
- The only 2-square region lies entirely in row 2, so row 2's queen belongs to that region and the rest of row 2 is ruled out, including R2C1.
- 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 R3C1.
- The 3-square region in row 4 lies entirely in that row, so row 4's queen belongs to that region and the rest of row 4 is ruled out, including R4C4.
