About Queens #827
- Queens #827 is played on an 8×8 grid with 8 colored regions.
- The smallest region covers 2 squares and the largest covers 29.
- 5 regions lie entirely inside a single row or column, which reserves that line for it.
- It has 8 regions, fewer than the average of 8.3 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The only 6-square region lies entirely in column 4, so column 4's queen belongs to that region and the rest of column 4 is ruled out, including R7C4.
- The only 4-square region lies entirely in column 8, so column 8's queen belongs to that region and the rest of column 8 is ruled out, including R5C8.
- The 2-square region in rows 2–3, column 2 lies entirely in column 2, so column 2's queen belongs to that region and the rest of column 2 is ruled out, including R1C2.
