Use these spoiler-friendly hints. Each hint gets stronger, but the final answer stays hidden until you reveal it.

: The puzzle already gives you queens at R1C7 and R2C2. Mark their rows, columns, and all touching squares first. That immediately removes a lot of space in the top-left and top-right parts of the board.
: One color region in the upper middle is isolated to a single cell. In LinkedIn Queens, a one-cell region must contain a queen, so that placement is forced very early.
: Once the singleton region is filled, nearby rows lose several candidate squares from adjacency. That helps separate the next two queens in the middle of the board and prevents accidental touching.
: The lower rows become much easier after the center is fixed. Focus on which columns are still free and which color regions still need a queen. The remaining placements are strongly constrained.
: By the time you reach the final row, only one square should remain available in the last color region. That final queen completes today's Queens solution for LinkedIn Queens 2026-05-19 15:00:27.

Here is a clear Queens puzzle guide for how to solve LinkedIn Queens #749. The solution comes from combining the two starting queens with region logic, row and column elimination, and the rule that queens cannot touch.

Start with the pre-filled queens at R1C7 and R2C2. Those two queens immediately remove their rows, their columns, and the adjacent squares around them, which gives the opening structure for today's LinkedIn Queens puzzle.

Action	Position	Reason
Queen Placed	R1C7	Given queen from the starting board.
Queen Placed	R2C2	Given queen from the starting board.
Cell Eliminated	R1C6	Touches the given queen at R1C7 horizontally.
Cell Eliminated	R1C8	Touches the given queen at R1C7 horizontally.
Cell Eliminated	R2C1	Touches the given queen at R2C2 horizontally.
Cell Eliminated	R2C3	Touches the given queen at R2C2 horizontally.
Cell Eliminated	R3C1	Touches the given queen at R2C2 diagonally.
Cell Eliminated	R3C2	Touches the given queen at R2C2 vertically.
Cell Eliminated	R3C3	Touches the given queen at R2C2 diagonally.

The blue region in the upper middle is a single-cell region, so R3C6 must be a queen. This is the first major forced move and it sharply limits the center of the grid.

Action	Position	Reason
Queen Placed	R3C6	This blue region contains only one cell, so the queen is forced here.
Cell Eliminated	R3C5	Touches the queen at R3C6 horizontally.
Cell Eliminated	R3C7	Touches the queen at R3C6 horizontally.
Cell Eliminated	R2C6	Touches the queen at R3C6 vertically.
Cell Eliminated	R2C7	Touches the queen at R3C6 diagonally.
Cell Eliminated	R2C8	Touches the queen at R3C6 diagonally.
Cell Eliminated	R4C6	Touches the queen at R3C6 vertically.
Cell Eliminated	R4C7	Touches the queen at R3C6 diagonally.
Cell Eliminated	R4C8	Touches the queen at R3C6 diagonally.

After the blue queen is fixed, the remaining candidates in row 4 and row 5 collapse. That leaves R4C8 and R5C5 as the clean placements that satisfy their color regions without touching nearby queens.

Action	Position	Reason
Queen Placed	R4C8	This is the surviving square for the green region after adjacency and row pressure are applied.
Queen Placed	R5C5	This is the only square that fits the gray region and row 5 without creating a touch conflict.
Cell Eliminated	R4C4	Row 4 already has stronger candidates removed by region and adjacency constraints.
Cell Eliminated	R4C5	Conflicts with the row and diagonal pressure from the queen at R3C6.
Cell Eliminated	R5C4	Too close to the eventual center queen placement in row 5.
Cell Eliminated	R5C6	Touches the queen at R5C5 horizontally.
Cell Eliminated	R5C7	Crowded by the row 5 placement and the queen above.

With the middle stabilized, the next forced queens appear in the lower half. R6C3 and R7C1 each become the best fit for their regions while preserving one queen per column.

Action	Position	Reason
Queen Placed	R6C3	This yellow region square is the correct fit once the earlier rows and columns are blocked.
Queen Placed	R7C1	This tan region square survives the row, column, and no-touch eliminations.
Cell Eliminated	R6C2	Touches the queen at R6C3 horizontally.
Cell Eliminated	R6C4	Touches the queen at R6C3 horizontally.
Cell Eliminated	R7C2	Touches the queen at R7C1 horizontally.
Cell Eliminated	R8C1	Touches the queen at R7C1 vertically.
Cell Eliminated	R8C2	Touches the queen at R7C1 diagonally.
Cell Eliminated	R7C3	Touches the queen at R6C3 diagonally.

The last queen lands at R8C4. That completes the coral region and gives the final one-queen-per-row, one-queen-per-column, one-queen-per-region solution for today's Queens solution.

Action	Position	Reason
Queen Placed	R8C4	This is the final valid square in the coral region and completes the board.
Cell Eliminated	R8C3	Touches the queen at R8C4 horizontally.
Cell Eliminated	R8C5	Touches the queen at R8C4 horizontally.
Cell Eliminated	R8C6	Row 8 is already filled once the final queen is placed.
Cell Eliminated	R8C7	Row 8 is already filled once the final queen is placed.
Cell Eliminated	R8C8	Row 8 is already filled once the final queen is placed.

Final Check

Each row contains exactly one Queen.
Each column contains exactly one Queen.
Each color region contains exactly one Queen.
No two Queens touch horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
