How to play LinkedIn Queens
LinkedIn’s Queens is a daily color-region logic puzzle. The rules below are the genre standard. Coronet is an independent game with the same constraints — useful if you want the puzzle without opening LinkedIn.
Rules (genre)
- Exactly one crown in every row.
- Exactly one crown in every column.
- Exactly one crown in every color region.
- Crowns cannot touch — not even diagonally.
Basic flow
Mark squares that cannot hold a crown (X). Place a crown when only one legal cell remains for a row, column, or color. After each crown, block its neighborhood. Repeat until the board is full and legal.
Play without LinkedIn
Coronet publishes a free UTC daily at coronet.one, plus practice sizes and a 60-day archive. Not affiliated with LinkedIn — same puzzle family, different product.
FAQ: LinkedIn Queens rules
- How do you play LinkedIn Queens?
- Place crowns so each row, each column, and each color region has exactly one. Crowns may not touch — including diagonally. Mark impossible cells with X, then place forced crowns until the board is complete.
- Where is Queens on LinkedIn?
- Open LinkedIn Games (search “games” or use the Games entry point in the app) and choose Queens. A new board drops daily. Coronet is a separate free daily if you want the same rules without a LinkedIn account.
- Is Coronet the same as LinkedIn Queens?
- Same genre rules (row / column / color / no diagonal touch). Different product, boards, and schedule (Coronet uses UTC midnight). Not affiliated with LinkedIn.
