Free Minesweeper
Clear the board without hitting a mine.
What is the Minesweeper?
Minesweeper shipped on millions of computers and quietly taught a generation logic and nerve: clear a grid of squares, use the numbers to reason about where the mines hide, and don't click the wrong one.
Play the classic here, free, with easy, medium and hard boards.

What does this tool do?
You reveal squares to clear the board; each revealed number tells you how many mines touch that square.
By combining the numbers you can deduce which squares are safe and which hide mines — flag the mines and reveal every safe square to win.

Tips
- Start in the middle to open a big safe area.
- A '1' next to a single unrevealed square means that square is a mine.
- Flag known mines so you don't click them by accident.
- Compare adjacent numbers to deduce shared mines.
- When a number is satisfied, its other neighbors are safe.
- Work the edges and corners — fewer neighbors, easier logic.
- Slow down; most losses are careless clicks.
- If truly stuck, the least-constrained square is the safer guess.
Common mistakes to avoid
Guessing early
Fix: Exhaust the logic first; most squares can be deduced, not guessed.
Not flagging mines
Fix: Flag them so you don't accidentally reveal one later.
Misreading a satisfied number
Fix: Once a number has all its mines flagged, its remaining neighbors are safe to reveal.
Rushing clicks
Fix: Careless reveals lose games you'd otherwise win — take your time.
How it works
