How to play Minesweeper
Tap a cell to reveal it. A number tells you how many mines touch that cell; an empty cell opens up its neighbors automatically. Use the clues to deduce where the mines are and reveal every safe cell without hitting one.
- Your first tap is always safe — the mines are placed afterwards.
- Right-click to flag a mine, or use the Flag mode button so taps place flags (handy on mobile).
