About the puzzle: Queens is a challenging logic grid puzzle, also known as Starstruck, Star Battle, or Two Not Touch. It is the same puzzle as the daily Queens puzzle published by LinkedIn and the daily Starstruck puzzle published by Netflix. The puzzle can be seen as an object placement puzzle, like Battleship or Trees and Tents, and as binary determination puzzle, like Hitori or Nurikabe. The puzzle is very similar to Star Battle, where you need to place 2 stars instead of 1 crown per region. Users often refer to this puzzle as an interesting cross between Sudoku and Minesweeper. The goal: Place a crown in every row, every column, and every region, but make sure that the crowns do not touch, even diagonally! Every puzzle has exactly one solution, which can be found through logic reasoning. No guessing required. Are you up for the challenge? Can you solve them all?
