Medium

Bigger board and more mines. Requires logic chains and careful deduction.

Hard

Large board, dense mine field. For seasoned players who want a real challenge.

The Objective

Uncover every cell on the board that does not contain a mine. Click a mine and you lose. Clear all safe cells and you win. The numbers are your only clues.

What the Numbers Mean

Each revealed number tells you exactly how many mines are hidden among its 8 adjacent cells. A 1 means one neighboring cell is a mine. A 3 means three of its neighbors are mines. A blank cell has zero mine-neighbors and automatically expands.

Flagging Mines

Long-press (or right-click) a cell you know is a mine to place a flag on it. Flags prevent accidental clicks and help you track which cells are safe. You must flag or avoid all mines to win.

The First Click

Your first click is always safe — minesweeper generates the mine layout after your first move. Starting near the center or a corner often triggers a large cascade of revealed cells to get you started.

Minesweeper Strategy Tips

1-1 pattern: Two adjacent 1s with one shared unrevealed neighbor — that neighbor is the mine.
Satisfied numbers: If a number already has as many flags as its value, every other neighbor is safe to click.
Corners and edges have fewer neighbors, making them easier to deduce from.
When stuck, favor cells adjacent to smaller numbers — they have fewer mine possibilities.
Daily practice builds pattern recognition. One puzzle a day is enough to improve noticeably.
