Minesweeper

Minesweeper Rules

Minesweeper Objective

The goal of Minesweeper is to locate and mark all the mines hidden under the grey squares as quickly as possible. Clicking on a square will reveal one of the following:

  • A mine: Clicking it ends the game.
  • A number: Indicates how many adjacent squares contain mines.
  • Nothing: Shows no adjacent mines, and nearby empty squares will be revealed automatically. The first square you click is always safe, so you can start anywhere. Often, it opens up a blank area, making it easier to deduce where the mines are.

Basic Actions

  • Open a square: Left-click to reveal its content.
  • Mark a mine: Right-click to flag a square as a mine. A mine icon will appear on it.
  • Mark with a question mark: If you're unsure, right-click twice or once on a flagged square to mark it with a question mark. This prevents accidental clicks.
  • Clear marks: Right-click again to cycle through "Mine, Question Mark, Clear."
  • Quick open adjacent squares: If a number square's adjacent mines are all flagged, left-clicking the number will open the remaining adjacent squares. Be cautious—wrong flags could trigger a mine!

Tips

  • Use the numbers to deduce mine locations strategically.
  • Mark uncertain squares with question marks to avoid mistakes.
  • Master quick open to save time and speed up your game.
