About Queens #847
- Queens #847 is played on a 7×7 grid with 7 colored regions.
- The smallest region covers 1 square and the largest covers 21.
- 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 8.4 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The only single-square region is just R7C7, so its queen has no choice and goes there; that placement clears the rest of row 7, column 7 and every square touching R7C7.
- Every open square left in the 5-square region containing R1C7 sits in row 1, so row 1's queen belongs to that region and the rest of row 1 is ruled out, including R1C1.
- Every open square left in the 4-square region containing R1C1 sits in row 2, so row 2's queen belongs to that region and the rest of row 2 is ruled out, including R2C3.
