About Minesweeper
Minesweeper is the legendary logic puzzle loved since the early days of desktop computers. Each number tells you how many mines hide in the eight surrounding cells.
Three classic difficulties await: Beginner (9x9, 10 mines), Intermediate (16x16, 40), and Expert (16x30, 99). Your first click is always safe, so dive right in.
Your fastest clear time is saved separately for each difficulty. Beat the minefield with pure deduction — no guessing required — and chase your personal best.
Tips & Strategy
- If a number equals the count of unopened cells touching it, every one of those cells is a mine — flag them all.
- Once a number is fully satisfied by flags, its remaining neighbours are safe, so open them confidently to expand the board fast.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I hit a mine on my very first click?
No — the first click is always guaranteed safe, so you'll never lose right at the start. Click any cell with confidence to begin.
What do the numbers on the cells mean?
A number tells you how many mines are hidden in the eight cells surrounding it. Cross-referencing these numbers lets you deduce exactly where the mines are.
How do I place flags on mobile?
On mobile, long-press a cell or switch to flag mode to mark suspected mines; on desktop you simply right-click to plant a flag.

Compare the overlapping neighborhoods of numbers rather than solving each number in isolation. After marking a certain mine, check how that flag affects nearby clues. On mobile, learn the difference between opening a cell and placing a flag before attempting a crowded board.
