About this game
Minesweeper is the pure logic classic: a grid hiding a fixed number of mines, and a single rule to crack it. Every safe square you uncover shows a number — how many mines touch it — and from those numbers alone you can deduce, square by square, exactly where the mines are and where it is safe to dig. Flag the squares you are sure are mines to keep track, and once a number has all its mines flagged you can tap it to clear its remaining neighbours in one move — the fast way experienced players sweep a board. There are two ways to play. The Daily Challenge is one shared board for everyone, the same grid worldwide for your local date, with a difficulty that ramps across the week — a gentle nine-by-nine mid-week, a dense sixteen-by-sixteen at the weekend. Because everyone gets the identical board, one cell is marked as a guaranteed safe opening: tap it to flood open a fair start, no first move ever wasted on a mine. Solve it to build a streak; your progress is saved so you can pick the board back up if you close the tab, and when you finish, a results card shows your streak, your fastest time and a countdown to tomorrow's puzzle, with a spoiler-free result you can share. Free play drops the calendar entirely: unlimited fresh boards across three sizes, and the first tap is always safe and opens a whole region, so you are never guessing from nothing. It is a game of pure deduction with the occasional nervy fifty-fifty, and a running timer to beat your own best. Tap to dig, long-press or the flag button to mark, on any screen — and it plays entirely from the keyboard too, with arrow keys to move, Enter to dig and F to flag. No download, no sign-up.
Controls
Tap a square to uncover it.
Flagging
- Long-press a square, or turn on Flag mode, to plant or remove a flag. Right-click also flags on a desktop.
- Tap an already-cleared number, once its mines are all flagged, to open its remaining neighbours.
Keyboard
- Arrow keys move, Enter digs, F flags.
How to play
Uncover squares to reveal numbers, each showing how many mines touch that square.
Deducing
- Use those counts to work out which neighbouring squares are safe and which hide mines, and flag the mines to keep track.
- Clear every square that is not a mine to win; uncover a mine and the game ends.
Modes
- Play the Daily Challenge — one shared board a day, with a marked safe opening cell and a date-driven difficulty — to build a streak.
- Or switch to Free play for unlimited boards across three sizes where your first tap is always safe. Race the timer for a personal best.
