About Queens #833
- Queens #833 is played on a 7×7 grid with 7 colored regions.
- The smallest region covers 1 square and the largest covers 14.
- 3 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 only single-square region 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.
- Every open square left in the 3-square region containing R4C4 sits in column 4, so column 4's queen belongs to that region and the rest of column 4 is ruled out, including R1C4.
- Every open square left in the 3-square region containing R7C4 sits in row 7, so row 7's queen belongs to that region and the rest of row 7 is ruled out, including R7C1.
