Strategy tips
Every row and column needs exactly one queen, while both diagonal directions must also remain clear.
Green-bordered empty squares are currently safe; red-bordered queens share at least one attack line.
Keyboard players use arrows to move focus, Space or Enter to toggle a queen, U to undo, and C to clear.
