About Queenwise

Queenwise is a Queens-style logic puzzle: fill the grid so that every row, every column, and every colored region contains exactly one crown, and no two crowns touch — not even diagonally.

Understand your next move

Stuck on a board? A hint explains a deduction and highlights the cells behind it. Read the reason, try the move yourself, or apply the step. The goal is to make the next decision clearer, while keeping you in control of the puzzle.

Solve. Unlock. Master.

An Expedition is a three-board climb. Complete a board to unlock the next one and earn a completion star. Replay without hints to earn a mastery star. 33 stages offer 66 stars in total, with your best times and progress saved on this device. Larger boards add more cells to track; board size alone does not determine difficulty.

A puzzle you can reason through

Every published board is checked for connected regions, exactly one solution, and a complete solution using the deduction rules available in our hint engine. Explore 4,000 numbered puzzles from 5×5 to 12×12, play from the larger Unlimited pool, or return for four shared daily challenges. The numbered library is part of the same pool, so these counts are not added together.
