Logic puzzle · freeAbout Minesweeper
Minesweeper is the classic logic puzzle. Every number tells you how many mines touch that square. Use the clues to flag every mine and open every safe square. Your first tap is always safe.
How to play
- Tap or click a square to open it.
- A number shows how many of the 8 neighbouring squares hide a mine.
- Right-click, long-press or switch on Flag mode to mark a mine.
- Open every safe square to win. Opening a mine ends the game.
Controls
| Open a square | Click or tap |
| Flag a mine | Right-click, long-press, or Flag mode then tap |
Tips
- Start in the middle: the first click is always safe and often opens a big area.
- If a 1 touches only one closed square, that square is a mine.
- Your best time is saved for each difficulty.
Questions
Is the first click always safe?
Yes. Mines are placed after your first tap, never on or around it.
How do I flag on a phone?
Long-press a square, or turn on Flag mode and tap.
