How to Solve Queens #906
LinkedIn Queens #906 for October 23, 2026 uses an 8×8 grid. Place one queen in each row, column and colored region, with no queens touching, including diagonally.
The finished placement uses columns 8, 2, 6, 3, 5, 7, 4, 1 from rows 1 through 8. Each row and column has exactly one queen, and the eight placements occupy eight distinct regions. Adjacent rows never place queens in neighboring columns, so no two queens touch diagonally.
If you are stuck, work from the narrow central regions before committing to the large outer regions. The original region map and all eight positions were independently checked and have a unique solution.
