Minesweeper

The classic number puzzle. Every number tells you how many mines touch that square. Use them to work out where the mines are, flag them, and clear everything else. Your first click is always safe.

How to play

  1. Click a square to reveal it. Your first click is always safe.
  2. A number shows how many of the 8 squares around it hold mines.
  3. Right-click, or switch on flag mode on a touch screen, to plant a flag where you think a mine is.
  4. Click a number whose flags already match it to open all of its other neighbours at once.
  5. Reveal every safe square to win. Reveal a mine and the round is over.
