Daily Queens Game (PEMDAS Speed Stars)

Rate it

One Queens grid a day, timed and ranked against every other solver.

on dailyqueensgame.com

Today's Queens puzzle for Wednesday, October 28, 2026: an empty 10x10 grid of colour regions beside its stats, 23 solves, fastest 0:11 and median 0:37

Daily Queens Game is the web front door to Speed Stars, the Queens puzzle from PEMDAS Games. Each day at midnight Eastern there is one colour-region grid where you place one star (a queen) in every row, column and region, none touching. It is a race. Your time is ranked on a global leaderboard, and every past day since December 2022 waits in an archive.

About Daily Queens Game (PEMDAS Speed Stars)

Daily Queens Game at dailyqueensgame.com introduces the day's grid with a count of how many players have finished it, and its Play Now button opens the board on PEMDAS Games, where the puzzle is called Speed Stars. The rules are those of LinkedIn's Queens: one piece in every row, every column and every colour region, and no two pieces touching, even diagonally. PEMDAS draws them as stars.

A new grid drops at midnight Eastern Time, the same for every player, and its size changes from day to day (10x10 with 10 regions on 28 October 2026). Speed is the point. Every solve is timed and ranked on a global leaderboard you can share with friends, which the site sells as Queens, but ranked. Missed days are in a dated archive that reaches back to 25 December 2022, and boards sorted by size from 7x7 to 12x12 are there for practice.

First-timers must sit through a Speed Stars tutorial. Tap a cell once to mark an X and again to turn it into a star. PEMDAS Games also runs word and maths games such as Speed Word on the same daily, timed format, free and with no ads, in the browser and in its iPhone and Android apps.

It suits Queens players who like racing a clock and comparing times more than a slow solve.

Tips

  • Start with the smallest region: it has the fewest places for its star.
  • Once a star is placed, cross out its row, column and the four diagonal neighbours at once.
  • Speed comes from marking X's quickly, not from guessing stars.
