Questions about LinkedIn Queens
What are the LinkedIn Queens rules?
Place one queen in each row, column, and coloured region of the board, and ensure no two queens are touching — orthogonally or diagonally. The colour regions are the unique twist that turns a generic n-queens problem into a single-solution puzzle.
Is this the same Queens game as LinkedIn's?
Same rules, different board generation. Each Ludingo puzzle is generated and uniqueness-checked by our own engine so you can play unlimited times without a LinkedIn account or daily reset.
Do I need a LinkedIn account?
No. Ludingo Queens runs entirely in your browser — no login required for casual play. Signing in only enables persistent stats and cross-device sync.
How does the puzzle numbering work?
Every puzzle has a stable ID like `easy_42` or `hard_3` that's the same on every device. Share the URL with a friend and they'll get the exact same board — perfect for racing the time.
