Queens #918 Solution
Queen positions (row, column): R1C4, R2C7, R3C3, R4C5, R5C2, R6C6, R7C1.
How to Solve Queens #918
The Queens 918 placements are R1C4, R2C7, R3C3, R4C5, R5C2, R6C6 and R7C1.
- Put the lavender-region queen in the top row at column 4. The orange queen belongs at the far-right end of row 2.
- The small gray region uses R3C3, while the blue region uses R4C5. Keep their columns clear throughout the rest of the board.
- Place the yellow-region queen at R5C2. The large pink region takes R6C6.
- The coral queen finishes the board at R7C1, leaving exactly one queen in each region.
The column sequence from top to bottom is 4, 7, 3, 5, 2, 6, 1. All seven columns appear once. Neighboring rows have queen columns separated by at least two, so none of the queens touch diagonally.
When checking a placement, remove its row and column from the remaining regions and exclude the touching diagonals in the rows above and below. This keeps the large pink region manageable while the smaller regions claim their positions.
