Minesweeper

📖 Strategy guide: Minesweeper: where to tap first, the patterns, and when to guess

How to play

Tap a square to reveal it. A number says how many of the eight neighbouring squares hide a mine. Use the numbers to work out where the mines are, flag them (right-click, long press, or switch on flag mode with the 🚩 button) and reveal everything else. Reveal a mine and the round is over.

Faster clearing

• The first tap never hits a mine and always opens an area.
• Tap a revealed number whose mines are all flagged to open the remaining neighbours in one go.
• Small is 9×9 with 10 mines, Medium 16×16 with 40, Large 24×16 with 70.
