Pro Tips

Master Novice Level

Start with small regions

Look for color regions with only one possible cell for a queen.

Use elimination

Mark cells that can't have queens due to row/column constraints.

Check diagonals

Remember queens can't touch diagonally - use this to eliminate options.

Take your time

There's no timer! Focus on learning the patterns at your own pace.
