About Queens #875
- Queens #875 is played on an 8×8 grid with 8 colored regions.
- The smallest region covers 1 square and the largest covers 36.
- 4 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 7 puzzles.
- The only single-square region is just R8C1, so its queen has no choice and goes there; that placement clears the rest of row 8, column 1 and every square touching R8C1.
- The only 2-square region lies entirely in column 5, so column 5's queen belongs to that region and the rest of column 5 is ruled out, including R1C5.
- Every open square left in the 7-square region containing R3C5 sits in column 4, so column 4's queen belongs to that region and the rest of column 4 is ruled out, including R1C4.
