About Queens #832
- Queens #832 is played on a 7×7 grid with 7 colored regions.
- The smallest region covers 1 square and the largest covers 15.
- 2 regions lie entirely inside a single row or column, which reserves that line for it.
- It has 7 regions, fewer than the average of 8.1 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The single-square region in row 4 is just R4C2, so its queen has no choice and goes there; that placement clears the rest of row 4, column 2 and every square touching R4C2.
- The single-square region in row 1 is just R1C5, so its queen has no choice and goes there; that placement clears the rest of row 1, column 5 and every square touching R1C5.
- Every open square left in the 7-square region containing R1C2 sits in row 3, so row 3's queen belongs to that region and the rest of row 3 is ruled out, including R3C6.
