About Minesweeper

Minesweeper hides mines under a grid of squares. Uncovering a square shows how many mines touch it, and you use those numbers to work out which squares are safe and which hide mines.

It is a logic puzzle rather than a game of luck, apart from the first click. Careful reasoning is what lets you clear the board.

Tips to play better

  • Begin by opening a square in the middle to get a larger empty area.
  • A "1" with only one unopened neighbour means that neighbour is a mine.
  • Mark mines you are sure about so you do not click them by accident.
