Minesweeper

💣 Minesweeper

Minesweeper is the classic minefield logic puzzle: open safe cells, read the number clues, and mark the mines you’ve deduced. This version is focused on clean, thoughtful play with no time pressure, so you can solve step by step.

Rules and gameplay

  • Your goal is to find all hidden mines without opening a mined cell.
  • When you open a cell, you’ll either reveal a number clue or trigger a mine.
  • The number in a cell tells you how many mines are in the surrounding neighboring cells.
  • Mark cells you believe contain mines, then keep opening the safe ones.
  • You can switch between opening cells and marking cells as you play.

Strategy tips

  • Start by opening space: early information creates more usable number clues.
  • Work in small “clusters” of numbers and resolve them fully before moving on.
  • When a number’s required mines are already marked, the remaining neighbors are safe.
  • When a number’s remaining hidden neighbors must all be mines, mark them and move on.
  • If you’re unsure, look for the next move that gives the most new information.

Game controls
