Minesweeper

Minesweeper is a classic puzzle game. Uncover cells on a grid while avoiding hidden mines. Use numbers to deduce where mines are located!

1. Click to reveal a cell (may contain a mine!)
2. Numbers show how many mines are in adjacent cells
3. Right-click to flag suspected mines
4. Clear all non-mine cells to win

• Start from corners for safer openings
• If a number equals its unrevealed neighbors, they're all mines
• Use logic, not guessing—except when forced!

Minesweeper rewards patience and pattern recognition. Each number tells you how many mines touch that square, so the game becomes a logic puzzle about counting neighbors, eliminating impossible spots, and expanding safe space as soon as the board gives you certainty.

The moment a safe region opens up, the board can change quickly. Learning to read the shape of a cluster matters as much as reading the numbers themselves.

• Work from already revealed numbers outward. A 1 or 2 with a clear border is often the easiest place to reason from.
• Use flags as a memory aid, but only when you are certain. Flags should support logic, not replace it.
• Corners and edges often create simpler number patterns, which makes them good places to look when the board feels crowded.

The most expensive mistake is guessing too early. If a safe deduction is still possible, take an extra look before clicking. Another common error is over-flagging and then forgetting whether a flag was a certainty or just a hunch.

If you get stuck, pause and re-check the numbered cells that still have unopened neighbors. Often one overlooked constraint is enough to unlock the next safe move.
