About Queens

Queens is a logic puzzle for one player on an original patchwork quilt. Place one wooden queen in each row, column and fabric region. Queens cannot touch, even at a corner. Every puzzle is independently checked for one solution and graded by the deductions it needs. Choose five to ten squares per side, use free marks and undo, or play the weekday daily. Optional hints explain and apply a sound deduction; checks flag mistakes. Both stay recorded as help.

How to play Queens

  1. Place exactly one queen in every row, every column and every fabric region.
  2. No two queens may touch, even diagonally. Conflicting queens are allowed while you work and can be outlined.
  3. X marks are notes. Auto-X shows only what your own queens rule out and can be switched off.
  4. Undo ordinary moves freely. Hints explain and lock a deduction; checks flag wrong marks. Undo never erases this help.
  5. You win when all queens obey the rules. Your time is your result; only solves without hints or checks count for best times.
  6. Pause hides the quilt and stops its timer. Choose size and difficulty before your first move; a daily puzzle stays fixed.
