Minesweeper

Minesweeper is a timeless puzzle game that combines logic, strategy, and calculated risk. Each session presents you with a blank grid concealing mines beneath some tiles. Your task? Reveal every safe square without detonating a single mine. It sounds simple—but mastering the game takes sharp observation and strategic thinking.

The Grid Awaits

You start with a grid filled with unrevealed tiles. Clicking a tile either reveals a number—indicating how many mines are adjacent—or it uncovers a mine, ending the game. Use logic to identify safe tiles and mark known mine positions with flags. As the board unfolds, your challenge grows, especially in larger grids where multiple calculations must be made in rapid succession.

Difficulty Levels

Minesweeper offers several grid sizes to suit your comfort and skill level:

• Beginner – 9×9 grid with 10 mines.
• Intermediate – 16×16 grid with 40 mines.
• Expert – 30×16 grid with 99 mines.

Flags, Numbers, and Safe Spots

Numbers are your guide. If a tile shows a “3,” that means three mines are hiding in the surrounding eight tiles. Right-click to place flags on tiles you suspect contain bombs. Mastering Minesweeper involves learning to:

• Use logic patterns – Common configurations can hint at safe tiles.
• Take calculated risks – Sometimes guessing is necessary, but smart guesses win games.
• Clear corners first – They often help expose multiple safe tiles quickly.

Game Strategy Essentials

1. Don’t flag every bomb immediately—use numbers to check groups.
2. Click around large, cleared areas to increase reveal speed.
3. Learn to recognize “1-2-1” and “1-2-2-1” patterns—they’re lifesavers.

Minesweeper is easy to learn and endlessly replayable. With each game offering a new layout, it stays challenging and fresh. Whether you’re a beginner or a logic master, it’s a satisfying test of mental precision and patience that never gets old.
