About Queens #814
- Queens #814 is played on an 8×8 grid with 8 colored regions.
- The smallest region covers 2 squares and the largest covers 14.
- 3 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 4 puzzles.
- The 2-square region in rows 1–2 lies entirely in column 8, so column 8's queen belongs to that region and the rest of column 8 is ruled out, including R3C8.
- 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 2-square region in rows 7–8 lies entirely in column 1, so column 1's queen belongs to that region and the rest of column 1 is ruled out, including R1C1.
