How to Play Minesweeper
Read the numbers
A number tells you how many of the eight neighbouring squares hold mines. Use it to work out which are safe.
Flag the mines
Mark squares you know are mines. Clear every non-mine square to win. Your time is saved if it’s a personal best.
🎓 Minesweeper Strategy Tips
- Start with the corners and edges. Fewer neighbours means numbers give more precise information.
- A 1 touching one hidden square. If a 1 has just one unrevealed neighbour, that square is a mine.
- Count flags against numbers. When a number’s flags are all placed, every other neighbour is safe, so you can open them in one tap by chording.
- Look for 1-2-1 patterns. In a row of 1-2-1 along a wall, the mines usually sit under the two outer squares of the three beneath.
- Guess last, and guess smart. If you must guess, pick the square with the lowest chance of a mine rather than a random one.

About Minesweeper
Minesweeper is a logic puzzle that has been shipped with Windows for decades, which is why so many people know it. The board is a grid of covered squares, some hiding mines. Revealing a square shows a number that counts the mines in the eight squares around it, or opens a region if there are none.
It is a game of deduction rather than luck once the first move is made. Each number is a constraint, and by combining constraints from neighbouring squares you can often prove that a square is safe or mined. Higher difficulties simply use a larger board with a higher density of mines.
This version runs entirely in your browser with no download. If a network restricts some sites, whether this page opens depends on that network’s own rules.
