About the game
Minesweeper
Minesweeper is the classic logic game where you clear the board square by square without stepping on a mine. There are three sizes here: Easy with 8 mines on 8x8, Medium with 15 mines on 9x10 and Hard with 27 mines on 9x14.
Your first tap is always safe and opens up an area, and every board is built to be solved with pure logic, so you never have to guess. You get a shovel and a flag, long press to mark, a hint that shows the next logical step, Save Me after hitting a mine, plus a streak and record for each difficulty.
How to play
- Find all the mines by clearing all the squares that are not mines. The numbers tell you how many adjacent squares are mines, and use flags to mark to yourself that a square has a mine.
- Each level is always fully solveable using logic!
On the keyboardArrow keys move the cursor, Space or Enter tap the square (dig, or clear around a number), F places or removes a flag, B switches between shovel and flag, H gives a hint. With a mouse, right click places a flag.
Tips to play better
- 1A 1 that touches only one closed square gives that mine away. Flag it first: it usually unlocks the numbers around it.
- 2When a number already has all its flags, tap it to clear the rest of its neighbours in one go. Only do this when you are sure about those flags.
- 3Look for a 1 next to a 2 along a straight edge: the square by the 2 that the 1 cannot reach is a mine. The 1, 2, 1 pattern marks both ends.
- 4Near the end, compare the mine counter with the closed squares. Sometimes the total count settles a corner that the numbers alone cannot.

Frequently asked questions
Can every board really be solved without guessing?
Yes. The mines are only placed after your first tap, and the game only accepts a board that its own solver can clear completely using logic alone.
How does the hint work?
If one of your flags is wrong, the hint removes it; otherwise it opens a safe square or flags a certain mine. You start with one hint and earn more after a few wins.
