One Queens puzzle a day isn't enough? Play Speed Stars plus 3 more daily puzzles — all free, no paywall, no subscription. Four puzzles, every day.
The Queens puzzle has become one of the most addictive daily games around. Place one star in each row, column, and color region — simple rules, satisfying solves. But if you're like most Queens fans, you finish the daily puzzle in a few minutes and want more. NYT's archive requires a Games subscription, and most third-party Queens clones generate random grids that lack the hand-crafted quality of a curated daily puzzle.
PEMDAS Games gives you Speed Stars — a free Queens-style logic puzzle with the same star-placement rules — plus three more daily puzzles to fill the gap. After you place your stars, move on to Speed Word (guess a 5-letter word like Wordle), Word Slide (slide columns to find hidden words), and Math Slide (complete equations by sliding numbers). That's four timed, competitive puzzles waiting for you every morning.
What makes this better than playing random unlimited Queens puzzles? Every PEMDAS puzzle is the same for all players. Your Speed Stars solve time gets ranked on a global leaderboard and compared against friends. It's the daily shared experience that makes Queens addictive in the first place — applied to four different puzzle types. More variety, more competition, and entirely free.
The Queens puzzle you know, with competition you'll love. Place one star per row, column, and color — timed and ranked globally. Your daily logic fix.

Play Math SlideNYT Queens only offers one puzzle per day, and the archive requires a subscription. PEMDAS Games gives you Speed Stars — a free Queens-style daily puzzle — plus three more daily puzzles across word and math categories. That's four puzzles to solve every day at no cost.
NYT's Queens archive is behind a paywall. PEMDAS Games takes a different approach: instead of replaying past grids, you get four fresh daily puzzles including Speed Stars (the Queens-style logic game). All free, with competitive leaderboards.
Speed Stars uses the same rules as Queens: place exactly one star in each row, column, and color region of a grid. No two stars can touch, even diagonally. The game is timed, and your solve speed is ranked on a global leaderboard.
The core puzzle mechanic is the same — place one star per row, column, and color region. Speed Stars adds competitive timing and global leaderboards. It's the Queens puzzle experience with real competition built in.
After Speed Stars, you still have three more daily puzzles: Speed Word (5-letter word guessing like Wordle), Word Slide (sliding word search), and Math Slide (equation building). All free, all competitive.
