How to play Minesweeper
Each number shows how many mines are in the eight squares around it. Use the numbers to work out where the mines are, flag them, and dig every other square to win. Dig a mine and the game is over.
Tips
- A 1 touching only one hidden square means that square is a mine.
- Look for patterns like 1-2-1 along an edge: the mines are under the 1s.
- When you are stuck, try a fresh area in a corner — corners have fewer neighbours.
