How to play
How to play Queens: learn in 30 seconds, master for life.

One per kingdom
Each colored region is a kingdom. Every kingdom needs its own crown — no more, no less.
No touching
Crowns can't be neighbors — not even corner to corner. Further apart on a diagonal is fine.

FAQ
Queens game FAQ
Still curious? The full rulebook and solving guide go deeper.
What is the Queens game?
Queens is a logic puzzle: place one crown in every row, every column and every colored region, and no two crowns may touch — not even diagonally. Queenwise offers 4,000 verified numbered boards from 5×5 to 12×12, four shared daily challenges, an Unlimited mode and 33 Expedition stages with mastery stars.
Is Queenwise free? Do I need an account?
Yes, it is completely free and you can play without signing up. Your progress is saved on this device. A free account is optional and only needed to sync progress across devices and to play ranked Arena matches.
How many Queens puzzles are there?
4,000 numbered levels (8 sizes from 5×5 to 12×12), four new daily boards every day, and an Unlimited mode drawing from a prechecked pool of tens of thousands of boards. Every board has exactly one solution.
Which board size should I start with?
Start with 5×5 or 6×6 to learn the rules, move to 7×7 and 8×8 once forced moves feel natural, and try 10×10 to 12×12 when you are comfortable with line locks and region groups.
What if I get stuck?
Press Hint (or H). Each hint highlights the cells it reasons about and explains the deduction in one sentence — apply it, or close it and finish the thought yourself.
Is there a Queens game app?
You do not need one: Queenwise runs in any phone, tablet or computer browser, with tap controls, drag-to-mark and zoom for large boards. Nothing to download or install.
Can I play LinkedIn Queens unlimited?
LinkedIn offers one Queens puzzle a day. Queenwise uses the same rules with no daily limit — numbered levels, four daily puzzles and an Unlimited mode — and no login.
Is this the LinkedIn Queens game?
Queenwise is an independent game with the same Queens rules. It is not affiliated with LinkedIn, and it adds more sizes, unlimited play, explained hints and more game modes.
