Veelgestelde vragen

Is there more than one answer?

Yes. Every size from 4 up has several solutions. The game keeps track of each distinct solution you find per board size.

Is there a time limit?

No. A timer runs from your first queen so you can beat your best time, but you can take as long as you like.
