Why play Minesweeper?

Your first reveal always opens safely. Read each number, flag confirmed mines, then select a completed number to open its remaining neighbours together. Larger boards reward careful deduction and efficient clearing.

FAQs

How do I know where a mine could be?

A revealed number tells you how many mines touch that cell. When the nearby flag count matches, select the number again to open its remaining hidden neighbours together.

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?

Easy is the best place to learn the pattern of the game. Move up to Medium or Hard 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.
