Why play Minesweeper?

Minesweeper is a quick logic game that rewards attention more than speed. Each move gives you new information, each mistake matters, and every finished board feels earned. It is a good pick when you want something short, focused, and easy to replay.

FAQs

How do I know where a mine could be?

Use the numbers as clues. A revealed number tells you how many mines are hidden in the surrounding cells, so you can narrow down the risky spots step by step.

When should I place a flag?

Place a flag when you are confident a cell hides a mine. Flags help you avoid accidental taps and keep the board easier to read.

Which difficulty should I start with?

Beginner is the best place to learn the pattern of the game. Move up to Intermediate or Expert when you want a larger board and more pressure.

Can I leave and continue later?

Yes. Your current board, timer, and selected difficulty stay saved in this browser so you can come back and pick up where you left off.

How do leaderboard scores work?

Win a board with a saved display name and your completion time can appear on the matching difficulty leaderboard.

Does losing affect the leaderboard?

No. Losses stay in your personal stats and do not appear on the public leaderboard.
