Welcome to Minesweeper! The goal is to uncover all the cells that don’t have mines while avoiding the ones that do. Here’s how to get started:
Reveal Cells: Left-click on a cell to uncover it. If it’s a mine, the game ends. If not, you’ll see either a number showing how many mines are in the surrounding eight cells or a blank space if there are no mines nearby.
Flag Mines: Right-click on a cell to mark it with a flag if you suspect it’s a mine. This helps you keep track of potential dangers.
Chording: Use this feature to reveal multiple cells at once. When a numbered cell has the exact number of flagged mines around it, hold Shift and left-click on that numbered cell to automatically uncover the remaining unflagged cells nearby. For example, if a cell shows "3" and you’ve flagged three nearby cells as mines, hold Shift and left-click the "3" to reveal the other surrounding cells safely.
The game begins with your first click, starting the timer. To win, reveal all non-mine cells without detonating a mine. One wrong click, and it’s game over—good luck!
