Printable 9x9 Crowns (Hard), Pack 3

Nine-by-nine Crowns grids are long solves with large, twisting regions. Mark the squares that cannot hold a crown as you go, and look for regions squeezed into a few columns.

Pack 3 of 3 has four Crowns puzzles with an answer key on the second page. Each grid has nine colour regions, so nine crowns to place.

How to solve

  • One per line: Each row and each column holds exactly one crown.
  • One per region: Each colour region holds exactly one crown.
  • No touching: Crowns never touch, not even diagonally.
  • Cross off: Mark every square that cannot hold a crown. The last open square in a row, column or region is the crown.
