About Minesweeper
Minesweeper is a logic puzzle where you clear safe squares and avoid hidden mines. Numbered squares tell you how many mines touch that square, helping you work out which nearby spaces are safe.
How to play Minesweeper
Click or tap squares to reveal them. Use the numbers to identify where mines must be. Mark suspected mines and keep clearing safe squares until the board is solved.
Tips for playing Minesweeper
Start by reading the numbers carefully. A 1 touching one hidden square usually means that square is a mine. Do not guess unless you have to; many Minesweeper boards can be solved by combining clues from several numbers.
