Classic mine puzzle in your browser
Minesweeper is a logic puzzle where hidden mines are scattered across a grid. Reveal every safe cell while using number clues to avoid mines.
How do you play Minesweeper?
Reveal cells without clicking hidden mines. Each number shows how many mines touch that cell, so use the clues to find safe cells and flags.
What do the numbers mean in Minesweeper?
A number counts mines in the eight surrounding cells. Blank cells touch no mines and usually open a larger empty area.
How do you flag a mine?
On desktop, right-click a hidden cell. On mobile, long-press a cell or use flag mode.
What is chording in Minesweeper?
Chording means clicking a revealed number after the correct number of adjacent flags has been placed, opening the remaining neighbours at once.
Is the first click safe?
Yes. The first click is safe, so you do not lose immediately on the opening move.
What is the difference between Infinite mode and Level mode?
Infinite mode is a high-score run across new boards. Level mode is a campaign where boards get harder as you progress.
Is this Minesweeper free and mobile friendly?
Yes. Minesweeper is free in the browser, requires no download, and supports desktop and mobile controls.
Can you always win Minesweeper without guessing?
Many boards can be solved mostly by logic, but some positions may still force a probability choice.
