Classic Minesweeper Game

Minesweeper has stayed nearly unchanged since it first shipped on desktop computers decades ago, and this version keeps that original logic puzzle intact: clear every safe square on a grid without detonating a single hidden mine. There's no reflex test here, no timer pressure beyond your own patience — just reading numbers correctly and thinking one step ahead.

Each square you reveal either turns up a mine (game over) or a number showing how many mines are hiding in the eight squares touching it. A blank tile means none of its neighbors are mined, and the board opens up automatically around it. From there the whole game is deduction: cross-reference overlapping numbers, work out which unopened squares must be safe, and mark the ones you're sure are mines so you don't click them by accident.

Controls

• Left click (or tap) a square to reveal it
• Right click (or long-press on touch) a square to flag it as a suspected mine

Tips

• Start from the numbers with the fewest unopened neighbors — they're the easiest to solve with certainty
• Flag a mine as soon as you're sure of it; it makes reading the surrounding numbers much easier than trying to hold it in your head
• If a number's mine count is already satisfied by your flags, every unopened neighbor of that number is guaranteed safe to click
• When no square is provably safe, guess in the area with the best odds rather than the first unopened square you see

A good fit for anyone who wants a quiet, logic-first break rather than an action game — the kind of puzzle you can sink into for two minutes or twenty.
