About Minesweeper
Minesweeper is a logic puzzle in which numbered squares reveal how many mines touch that square. The objective is to uncover every safe square without opening a mine. This beginner board uses a safe first move, making every new game fair and immediately playable.
Tips and strategy
- A square showing 1 beside one hidden square identifies a mine.
- A numbered square with enough adjacent flags makes its other hidden neighbours safe.
- Work from open areas towards uncertain edges.
- Use flags as notes, but check your logic before relying on them.
Why people play
- Develops deduction and risk assessment.
- Rewards careful attention rather than fast clicking.
- Provides a different board on every restart.
