How it works

Learn Queens Puzzle in Four Steps

Follow the example board step by step and learn how to place every flower using logic and elimination.

Read the board

First identify the rows, columns, and softly colored regions that shape the puzzle.

Mark impossible cells

Click or tap once to add an X. Drag across cells when several can be ruled out together.

Place a flower

Double-click or double tap a candidate cell. A correct flower stays; a wrong attempt is clearly flagged.

Complete the puzzle

Finish when every row, column, and colored region has exactly one flower and no flowers touch, even diagonally.

Rules

Four rules, one solution

Each card isolates one real constraint, so you can see what to scan before placing the next flower.

One per row

Each row must contain exactly one flower.

One per column

Each column must contain exactly one flower.

One per region

Each colored region must contain exactly one flower.

No adjacent flowers

Flowers cannot touch vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

Difficulty Levels

Choose the right challenge

Start with a smaller board to learn the pattern, then move up when you want more scanning and elimination.

Place exactly one flower in every row, every column, and every colored region. Flowers must not touch vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

Beginner uses a 5×5 board and is the clearest place to learn the rules. Easy uses 6×6, while Medium and Hard expand to 7×7 and 8×8.
