How to Play Minesweeper

Reveal all safe cells to win the game.

Use the numbers as clues and flag cells where you think mines are hidden.

1. Open a cell to see what's inside.
2. Numbers show how many mines are around that cell.
3. Flag cells that likely contain mines, then continue opening safe ones.

• Numbered safe cell

  A number shows how many mines are in the surrounding cells.

• Mine cell

  Opening a mine ends the round.

  

• Flagged cell

  Flags mark cells where you believe a mine is located.

  

Each number shows how many mines are in the 8 surrounding cells, including diagonals.

For example, if a cell shows 2, exactly two nearby cells contain mines.

These numbers are always accurate and give you the clues you need to make safe moves.

Use a flag when you are confident a cell contains a mine. Use a question mark when you are not sure yet.

Question marks can be turned on or off in Settings.

• Start near edges or corners to uncover larger safe areas.
• Take your time. Check each number against its surrounding cells.
• Use flags to stay organized and avoid repeated mistakes.
• If you get stuck, mark uncertain cells and explore another area.
• On mobile, zoom levels (S, M, L, XL) can make tapping easier.
