Cat Queens
Tap to place a cat in each colored zone of a 9x9 grid, making sure no two cats share a row, column or diagonal.
Reason out which tile in each colored region satisfies the no-touch rule, place cats one at a time, use 3 lives per puzzle.
Single-thumb tap an empty tile to place a cat; double-tap to remove a cat; tap-and-hold a tile to flag a guess.
