LinkedIn Queens Hints and Answers — June 15, 2026
Our Queens solver reveals today's answer cell by cell or zone by zone, so you can get hints without spoiling the whole board.
Click any cell to reveal a or ✕.
Click a zone button to reveal the queen in that zone.
- Each row, column, and colored region must contain exactly one queen.
- Queens cannot touch each other — not even diagonally.
- Use the puzzle picker to view a different day's puzzle.
How the Queens Solver Works
Our Queens solver gives you today's answer, hints, and step-by-step help for the daily LinkedIn Queens puzzle. Click any cell on the board to reveal whether it contains a queen or an X (empty). If you'd rather work zone by zone, click a colour button to reveal where the queen sits in that entire region. That second option is useful when you've narrowed a zone down to two or three cells and just need confirmation. Every past puzzle is in the archive too.
The solver shows today's puzzle by default. Use the puzzle picker to pull up any previous day and view its solution. If you want to start fresh, clear your reveals and try again with a different approach.
The point is control. Most answer sites show you the full board immediately. Here, you choose exactly how much help you get, whether that's a single cell to confirm a hunch or the complete solution when you just want to see how it all fits together.
What Is LinkedIn Queens?
Queens is a daily logic puzzle on LinkedIn. You're given a grid divided into coloured regions, and the goal is to place exactly one queen in each row, column, and colour zone. Queens cannot touch each other, not even diagonally. The puzzle is inspired by the classic N-Queens problem from computer science, but the coloured regions add a constraint that makes each day's board unique.
Grid sizes vary. Some days you'll see a 5x5 board, others an 8x8 or larger. Bigger grids mean more zones and tighter constraints, which is where the difficulty ramps up. A new puzzle drops every day at midnight Pacific Time, and your solve time appears on the LinkedIn leaderboard.
Queens is one of seven daily games LinkedIn currently offers. If you play the others, we have solver tools for Crossclimb, Tango, Pinpoint, Zip, Mini Sudoku, and Patches.
Tips for Solving Queens
Start with the smallest colour zones. A zone with only two or three cells has far fewer possible queen placements, so it's the easiest to lock in. Once you place a queen there, mark every cell in the same row, column, and diagonal neighbourhood as empty. That elimination cascades fast.
Next, look for zones that share a row or column. If two colour regions both occupy row 3, each one must place its queen in a different row, which immediately restricts your options. The tighter the overlap, the fewer valid positions remain.
If you're stuck, use the solver to reveal a single cell in the zone giving you trouble. One confirmed placement is often enough to unlock the rest of the board, and it costs less than revealing the full solution.

The solver lets you reveal the answer at your own pace. Click any cell to see whether it holds a queen or is empty. Click a colour zone button to reveal where the queen sits in that entire region. Use the puzzle picker to look up solutions from previous days. You control how much you see, from a single cell to the full board.
All LinkedIn Games, including Queens, reset daily at midnight Pacific Time (PT). All players worldwide receive the same puzzle at the same time. If you're in a different time zone, the new puzzle may appear during your morning rather than at midnight local time.
LinkedIn Queens is inspired by the classic N-Queens problem from computer science, but it adds coloured regions as an extra constraint. In traditional N-Queens, you place queens on a chessboard so none attack each other. In LinkedIn Queens, each coloured zone must also contain exactly one queen, which makes every daily puzzle unique.
