I still remember the thrill of clearing my first expert board. It took me weeks of practice! Minesweeper is a legendary grid-based computer game. It deeply tests your logic and patience. You start with a simple, blank grey board. Hidden underneath are deadly mines. Your job is to clear all the safe squares. Do not click the bombs! If you love challenging Puzzle Games, this one is an absolute must-play. It never gets old.
Here is the core rule you need to know. If a square containing a mine is revealed, the player loses the game. Boom! You will see a sad face at the top.
If no mine is revealed, a digit is instead displayed in the square. This number is your best friend. It indicates how many adjacent squares contain mines. If no mines are adjacent, the square becomes completely blank. Then, all adjacent safe squares will be recursively revealed. I absolutely love watching a huge chunk of the board clear in just one click!
Playing on a PC is super easy:
Playing on a phone? Just tap to reveal and long-press to flag. By the way, if you are on a mobile device, please make it to landscape mode. The wide board fits much better that way!
You can choose your own challenge. Just click the top menu to set your board. Here are the standard options:
I have played thousands of matches over the years. Here are my top secrets to help you win faster.
First, always start in the corners or near the edges. You usually get a good, wide opening there. Second, trust the numbers. If a "1" only touches one unopened square, that square is definitely a mine! Flag it immediately. Do not just guess blindly. Use pure math and logic to find your way out.
