About Minesweeper

Minesweeper has stayed popular for decades because it rewards careful logic more than luck. Every revealed number is a constraint — it tells you exactly how many of its unrevealed neighbors are mines — and most of a well-played board can be solved by comparing overlapping constraints between adjacent numbers rather than guessing.

This version keeps the original rules intact: a guaranteed-safe opening click, flood-fill reveals for empty regions, and flags you can place and remove freely while you work out the safer deductions.

Start from the numbers

A revealed 1 with only one unrevealed neighbor tells you that neighbor is a mine — chase these certain deductions before anything else.

Compare overlapping clues

Two adjacent numbers that share unrevealed neighbors often let you subtract one constraint from another to find a guaranteed safe cell.

Work the edges and corners

Corner and edge cells have fewer neighbors, which makes their numbers easier to fully solve early in a game.

Know when it's a real guess

Sometimes no deduction is available and every remaining unrevealed cell carries equal risk — recognizing that moment saves time versus over-analyzing.

Minesweeper FAQ

Questions about safety, flagging and difficulty.

Is the first click always safe?

Yes. Mines are only placed after your first click, and never in that cell or its eight neighbors, so you always get an opening reveal.

How do I flag a mine?

Right-click a cell on desktop, or press and hold it for about half a second on a touchscreen, to mark it with a flag. Flag it again to remove the flag.

How do I win?

You win the moment every cell that isn't a mine has been revealed. You don't need to flag every mine to win.

Can I change the board size?

Yes. Pick Beginner, Intermediate or Expert for the classic sizes, or choose Custom to set your own rows, columns and mine count.

Is my best time saved?

Yes. Your fastest completed game for each difficulty is saved in this browser's local storage, so you always have a time to beat.
