Minesweeper
Uncover safe tiles without detonating hidden explosives using numerical indicators showing adjacent mine density across grid sizes.
📖 About & Rules: Minesweeper
Minesweeper is a classic logic deduction puzzle where you clear a minefield without detonating hidden explosives.
Game Rules
Revealing a tile uncovers either a blank space, a number indicating how many mines are adjacent to that tile (1 to 8), or a mine. Uncovering any mine detonates the field and results in defeat. Flag all hidden mines or reveal all safe tiles to win.
How to Play
Left-click or tap to reveal a tile. Right-click or long-press to place a warning flag on suspect squares.
Controls & Shortcuts
Tips & Strategies
- Look for isolated numbers like 1s touching only one unrevealed tile—that tile is guaranteed to contain a mine.
- A 1 on a flat wall with three adjacent covered tiles means only one is a mine; check neighboring numbers to deduce which one.
