That and some explanatory text as to what the game actually is. My first thought was to try to capture the queen.

It has text now? "Move the knight to every square, right to left, top to bottom. Don’t land anywhere the queen can take you, and don’t take the queen."
Except, it's not accurate. It says "move the knight to every square" but the game is actually "move the knight to the next square specified".
It might not be obvious, but the specified squares are "all the squares in the order right to left, top to bottom without those the queen can attack" as the text instructs.
The text changed since my comment was posted.
I'm on a phone, I think that's the difference.
I tried and it wouldn’t let me. :(
Yeah the goal is actually to avoid the queen while visiting every space. Eventually I clicked "Help" and learned that.
How do you visit the squares that the queen is covering?
You don’t. They’re not counted I think.
