Minesweeper

Reveal safe cells and avoid hidden mines

Minesweeper is a classic logic puzzle. Each revealed number shows how many mines are in the eight neighboring cells. Use those clues to mark mines and open all safe cells.

Rules

1Reveal Safe Cells

Click a covered cell to reveal it. If it contains a mine, the round is lost.

2Read Number Clues

A revealed number tells you how many mines are touching that cell, including diagonals.

3Flag Suspected Mines

Right-click to place or remove a flag on cells you believe contain mines.

4Win Condition

You win when every non-mine cell is revealed. Flags are optional but help with tracking.

Strategies & Tips

Start with Zeroes

Cells with 0 nearby mines expand automatically and reveal large safe areas.

Use Exact Count Matches

If a revealed 2 touches exactly two unopened cells, both are mines. If it already touches two flagged cells, all other touching unopened cells are safe.

Work from the Frontier

Focus on edges between revealed and hidden cells. That is where clue deductions happen.

Retry Tough Boards

Some positions involve uncertainty. If you hit a mine, retry and approach the frontier from a different angle.
