About Minesweeper

Minesweeper is the legendary logic puzzle bundled with generations of computers. Reveal tiles to clear a minefield; each number tells you how many mines touch that tile. Use deduction — and a flag to mark suspected bombs — to uncover every safe square without detonating a single mine. Pure logic, no luck once you get going.

How to Play

  1. 1Tap a tile to reveal it — numbers show how many mines are adjacent.
  2. 2An empty (0) tile clears its neighbours automatically.
  3. 3Turn on flag mode, then tap tiles you think are mines to flag them.
  4. 4Reveal every safe tile to win; tap a mine and you lose.
  5. 5Tap after the game to start a fresh field.

Tips & Tricks

  • Start in the middle to open up a large safe area.
  • A '1' touching only one hidden tile means that tile is a mine.
  • Flag confirmed mines so you don't tap them by accident.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you flag a mine on mobile?

Tap the flag-mode button on the board to switch to flagging, then tap tiles to mark or unmark suspected mines.

What do the numbers mean in Minesweeper?

Each number is how many mines touch that tile (including diagonals), which lets you deduce where the mines are.
