About this game
Minesweeper is a classic puzzle where you use number hints to find every safe cell. Your first click and the cells around it are always safe, so you can start without worry. Play across three difficulty levels, from small boards to big ones.
How to play
- Pick a difficulty (Easy, Normal, or Hard).
- Tap a cell to open it. The first cell is always safe.
- Each number shows how many of the 8 surrounding cells hide mines.
- Long-press a cell you think holds a mine to place a flag.
- If a number cell has all its mines flagged, tap it again to open the rest of its neighbors at once.
- Clear the board by opening every safe cell while avoiding the mines.
Tips
- Work through cells with small numbers first to avoid mistakes.
- Flag cells you're unsure about and check other cells first.
- Your score drops a little as time passes, so don't overthink each move.
- Flagging mines correctly adds a bonus to your clear score.
FAQ
- Can I play for free with no install?
- Yes, you can play right away in your browser for free.
- How is the score calculated?
- It starts from a base score for the difficulty, drops with elapsed time, and gains a bonus for correctly flagged mines.
- Can more than one person play together?
- No, this is a single-player game.
