Minesweeper

Clear the field. You never have to guess.

The classic, rebuilt so every board can be solved by logic alone. If the board won't move, you've missed something rather than run out of luck.

How to play

Each number counts the mines touching it, corners included.
Tap to uncover. Long-press to plant a flag where a mine must be.
Tap a number you have fully flagged to open the rest around it.

Tips and tricks

A lonely 1. A 1 that touches only one covered square is pointing straight at a mine. Flag it.
Satisfied numbers open the rest. When a number already touches as many flags as it shows, every other square around it is safe. Tap the number to open them.
Compare neighbours. Two numbers next to each other share most of their squares. The difference between them tells you where the extra mine is.
The 1-2 pattern. Along a wall, a 1 beside a 2 means the square past the 2 holds a mine.
The 1-1 pattern. Starting from the end of a wall, two 1s side by side mean the square past the second 1 is safe.
Never guess. Every board here can be solved without guessing. If you're stuck, look for a pair of numbers you haven't compared yet.
