How to play LinkedIn Queens
Queens is a placement puzzle on a square grid that is split into colored regions. Your goal is to place exactly one queen in every row, every column and every colored region.
There is one extra rule that makes it tricky: no two queens may touch, not even diagonally. That means every queen rules out its entire row, its entire column, its region and the eight squares around it.
A good way in is to look for regions that sit entirely inside one row or one column. That row or column is then reserved for that region, so you can cross off every other square in it. Repeat this elimination until only one square remains for a queen.
