How to Play Minesweeper
Left-click any cell to reveal it. Numbers show nearby mines. The first click is always safe.
Right-click (or long-press on mobile) to place a flag on cells you think contain mines.
Use the numbers to deduce where mines are located. Each number tells you exactly how many mines touch that cell.
Clear all non-mine cells to win. Avoid clicking on mines — one wrong click ends the game.
Tips to Improve Your Score
- Start by clicking in the center — this usually reveals the largest area
- Right-click to flag cells you're sure contain mines
