Minesweeper

About Minesweeper

Minesweeper is a classic game of careful logic. Hidden mines are scattered across the grid, and the numbers you reveal tell you how many mines touch each square. Use those clues to work out which squares are safe to open and which to flag as dangerous. Clear the whole board without setting off a mine to win. Pure deduction — no luck required once you learn to read the numbers.

• Reveal every safe square to win — but never open a mine!

Tips & Tricks

• A '1' touching only one hidden square means that square is a mine.
