THE GOAL One queen in every colored region. Easy, right? Except each queen must also stand alone in its row, its column, and never touch another queen — not even diagonally. Four rules, all at once. No shortcuts. Just you and the logic. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY • Daily Puzzle — one fresh puzzle a day for the whole world. Beat it, clock your time, climb the global leaderboard, and keep your streak alive. • Challenges — go head-to-head 1v1.
