How to use it

  1. Pick a board size and click any square to start. The first click is always safe.
  2. Use the numbers to find the mines and flag them with a right-click, the F key or the Flag button.
  3. Open every square that has no mine to win and set a best time.

Questions

Is the first click always safe?

Yes. The mines are placed after your first click, and the square you clicked and its neighbours stay clear.

What happens when I click a number?

If the flags around it match the number, the remaining neighbours open at once. A wrongly placed flag still sets off a mine, so check before you chord.

How do I flag a square on a phone?

Press and hold the square, or switch the tap action to Flag above the board.

Where is my best time stored?

Only in this browser on this device, separately for each board size. Clearing site data removes it.
