ℹ️About This Game
Minesweeper has been a staple of computer gaming since its inclusion in Windows 3.1 in 1992. The game challenges you to clear a minefield by revealing safe cells while using number clues to avoid hidden mines. Each number tells you how many of the 8 surrounding cells contain a mine. The game became iconic for its tense, all-or-nothing finale — often forcing a 50/50 guess to finish. Speed records (like sub-30-second Expert clears) remain impressive achievements, and competitive Minesweeper communities exist worldwide.
💡Tips & Strategy
- 1
The first click is always safe — click somewhere near the center for the best chance of opening a large area.
- 2
When a number's mine count is already flagged around it, chord-click (simultaneously click) to reveal remaining neighbors.
- 3
Never guess unless forced — most boards can be logically deduced until a true 50/50 situation appears.
- 4
On Beginner, start corners and edges; on Expert, start near the center to open large regions.
