# Queens puzzle tips (no spoilers)

Solve color-region queens puzzles by forced moves, not guessing.

1. **Smallest regions first** — then X the neighborhood, row, and column.
2. **X’s are progress** — last open cell in a row/region is a crown.
3. **Cross row vs color** — where can this color still sit in this row?
4. **Clear diagonals** — crowns cannot touch on a corner.
5. **Hints confirm deductions** — Practice on Coronet before Today if you want reps.
