Daily region puzzle

Queens puzzle for November 5, 2026

One queen for every court

Today's 7×7 tray has seven connected courts. Every row, column and court needs exactly one queen. Neighbours cannot touch, even diagonally; distant diagonal queens are allowed. Court letters and boundary seams identify the regions as well as their colours. Tap Learn for a short teaching board, or use Look to explore without starting a daily attempt.

Tap once for a cross and again for a queen. Crosses record your deductions; they are not required to finish. A queen with a coral outline is in conflict with another. Remove one or use Undo to return to the previous gesture. You can keep trying without a failure screen.

The puzzle has one solution and a complete, checked logical route. A hint highlights the cells involved and explains the deduction; it never plays the move for you. The score starts at 3,000, loses four points per second and 300 for each paid logical hint, with a minimum of 100. Timing and hint costs are checked by the server.

A verified daily solve earns a coloured royal wax seal on this week's album page. If verification cannot be confirmed, a neutral blank impression is kept locally instead. Practice does not add seals. Your collection belongs to this browser, so return on the same device and browser to keep it together.

Questions

When does the daily Queens puzzle change?

At 00:00 UTC. Everyone receives the same frozen 7×7 court for that UTC date. Your local calendar may show a different day near reset.

Can queens share a long diagonal?

Yes. The diagonal rule only forbids touching at a corner. A queen several cells away on the same diagonal is allowed, as long as its row, column and court are different.

What does a daily hint cost?

A logical deduction costs 300 points. The first request asks for confirmation. The server records the number used and includes the penalty in the verified score. Explanations of an existing conflict are free.

Does Queens count towards my daily streak?

A server-verified daily court counts towards your progress and streak. Practice never adds daily progress.
