Minesweeper
The classic logic puzzle. Click to reveal cells, use the numbers to find the mines, and clear the board without blowing up.
How to Play Minesweeper
Minesweeper is a logic puzzle where you uncover cells on a grid while avoiding hidden mines. Each revealed cell shows a number indicating how many of its 8 neighbors contain mines. Using these clues, you figure out which cells are safe to click and which ones to flag as mines.
The Numbers
A "1" means exactly one of the eight surrounding cells is a mine. A "2" means two neighbors are mines, and so on. An empty cell (no number) means none of its neighbors are mines — and the game automatically reveals all connected empty cells to save you time.
Flagging Mines
Right-click a cell (or long-press on mobile) to place a flag where you think a mine is. Flags help you keep track of identified mines so you do not accidentally click them. The mine counter in the top left shows how many mines are left unflagged.
Difficulty Levels
Beginner is a 9×9 grid with 10 mines — a good starting point. Intermediate is 16×16 with 40 mines for a real challenge. Expert is 16×30 with 99 mines — classic Minesweeper at its hardest.
