Play Minesweeper by revealing safe tiles while avoiding hidden mines. Each numbered tile shows how many mines touch it, so the strategy is to use those clues to decide where to dig and where to place flags.

This version includes difficulty levels, a timer, mine counter, mobile flag mode, sound controls, and light or dark theme.

How to Use This App

• Choose a difficulty level, Easy, Medium, or Hard
• Click or tap a tile to reveal it
• Use the numbers to identify nearby hidden mines
• Place flags on tiles that you think contain mines
• Switch between Dig Mode and Flag Mode on mobile
• Watch the mine counter and timer while clearing the board
• Restart the game if you hit a mine or want a new puzzle

Examples and Use Cases

Beginner practice: Choose Easy mode with 10 mines and focus on learning how numbered tiles point to nearby danger spots. For example, a tile marked 1 means exactly one touching tile contains a mine.

• Quick puzzle break: Start a new Easy or Medium board and try to clear all safe tiles before the timer gets too high.
• Strategy challenge: Use flags only when you are confident a tile contains a mine, then compare the remaining mine counter with the unopened spaces.
• Mobile play: Use Dig Mode to reveal tiles, switch to Flag Mode to mark suspected mines, then switch back to keep clearing the board.
• Hard mode test: Select Hard with 50 mines when you want a denser board that requires more careful clue reading and fewer guesses.
• Replay improvement: After winning, use the timer result as a goal and replay the same difficulty to improve your completion speed.

Minesweeper Strategy Tips

Good Minesweeper play depends on reading patterns instead of guessing too early. Start by opening safe areas, then use the numbers around revealed tiles to narrow down where mines must be.

• Use corners and edges carefully: Fewer touching tiles can make clues easier to solve.
• Compare nearby numbers: A group of connected clues often gives more information than one number alone.
• Flag confirmed mines: Flags help you keep track of dangerous tiles, especially on medium and hard boards.
• Delay uncertain moves: Look for safer clues elsewhere before making a guess.

Common Mistakes

• Ignoring the mine counter: The counter helps you check whether your flags still make sense.
• Flagging too many guesses: Incorrect flags can block safe tiles and make the board harder to solve.
• Clicking around a number too quickly: Always confirm how many surrounding tiles are already flagged or revealed.
• Forgetting mobile mode: On touch screens, switch between Dig Mode and Flag Mode before tapping tiles.

When to Use Each Difficulty

Use Easy mode to learn the rules and practice basic clue reading. Use Medium mode for a balanced puzzle with more mines. Use Hard mode when you want a denser board that requires careful logic and more patient flagging.
