Rules and strategy
How to play Minesweeper
Reveal every safe square while using numbered clues to avoid the hidden mines.
Start playing
- Left-click or tap to reveal a square; a number tells you how many mines touch it.
- Right-click or long-press to flag a square you have logically identified as a mine.
- Combine overlapping number clues until every non-mine square is open.
Minesweeper strategy tips
- If a number already touches that many flags, every other covered neighbor is safe.
- If a number has exactly as many covered neighbors as unmarked mines remaining, flag them all.
- Work from exposed boundaries and compare adjacent clues instead of guessing isolated squares.
