About This Game
Minesweeper is a logic puzzle built around deduction. Revealed numbers tell you how many mines touch that square, giving you the clues needed to clear every safe cell.
How to Play
- Reveal a square to begin; your first move is always safe.
- Use the numbers to identify where mines must be.
- Flag suspected mines and reveal every non-mine square to win.
Controls
- Click or tap to reveal a square
- Right-click or long-press to place a flag
- Choose a difficulty to start a new board
Tips and Strategies
- Start from open areas and work outward.
- If a number already touches its full count of flags, its other neighbours are safe.
- If all hidden neighbours of a number must be mines, flag them before moving on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play Minesweeper on a phone?

Can the first click hit a mine?
No. Mines are placed after your first move so the opening square is safe.
