LinkedIn Queens #733 Answer & Analysis

The start board already gives queens at R1C6 and R2C2. Confirm those first, then mark every cell that touches them horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. That immediately clears several cells in the top-left and upper-middle areas and sets up the rest of today's LinkedIn Queens puzzle.

After the first eliminations, the pink region in the upper-right is forced to R3C9. At the same time, the gray cluster in row 4 settles on R4C3 because the other gray candidates run into row, column, or adjacency conflicts. These two placements tighten the middle of the board immediately.

With the top half trimmed down, the lime region in the middle has only one legal placement left: R5C5. This is a classic region-counting move in LinkedIn Queens #733, because once the center queen is fixed, several nearby candidates disappear from both rows and columns.

Once the center is set, the beige region is forced to R6C7, and that opens the lower purple band to R7C4. These placements are important because they separate the remaining lower-half regions cleanly and prevent any diagonal contact.

The last open regions are the blue region and the red region, which finish at R8C8 and R9C1. With those placed, the board matches the solved LinkedIn Queens answer exactly: one queen in every row, every column, and every color region, with no touching queens.
