About the 12×12 Cat Queens board
This 12×12 Cat Queens puzzle is a daily logic board for players who want a clean Queens-style challenge without downloads, sign-ups, or distracting game layers. The goal is strict: place exactly one cat in every row, every column, and every color region, while keeping all cats separated so none touch horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Paw marks are there for elimination, not scoring, so use them freely when a cell becomes impossible.
The master size is best treated as a pattern-reading exercise. Start with the smallest color regions, then scan rows and columns that already have many excluded cells. After each cat placement, immediately rule out the rest of its row, column, region, and neighboring cells. Every generated board is checked for a single solution, which means a contradiction usually points to an earlier mark rather than a need to guess.
