Minesweeper Online: Classic Game and No-Guess Mode

An online version of the classic mine puzzle with the three standard levels, custom boards and a mode in which every field can be solved by reasoning alone. The game explains itself: a hint shows which numbers prove a cell, and after a loss you see whether it was a mistake or a guess nobody could avoid. It plays with a mouse, a keyboard or a finger on a phone, including on the whole screen.

How to play Minesweeper

1
Open a cell

Click or tap any cell. The first one is never a mine and always opens an area.

2
Read the numbers

A number says how many mines touch that cell, diagonals included. An empty cell has none around it.

3
Flag the mines

Right-click or hold a cell to put a flag where a mine must be. Flags are your notes: the game does not require them.

4
Open around a number

When a number already has that many flags next to it, click or tap the number to open the rest of its neighbors at once.

5
Clear the field

You win when every cell without a mine is open. If you are stuck, ask for a hint and look at the proof.

What this Minesweeper does

Boards without guessing
Every board in this mode — 9×9, 16×16, 30×16 or your own — is solved by a built-in solver before you see it, so it can be finished from the first click by logic alone.
Hints that show the proof
A hint highlights a clear cell or a mine together with the numbers that prove it. Where nothing can be proven, it shows the chance of a mine in each cell.
A verdict after every loss
The board tells you whether a safe move existed, whether you opened a known mine, or whether it was a forced 50/50 — and lets you take the move back and go on.
Controls made for touch
Tap opens, hold flags with a ring that fills under the finger, tap a number opens around it. There is a Dig/Flag switch and pinch zoom, and a 30×16 board turns to fit a tall screen.
Board of the day and links
One board a day for each level, the same for everyone, with a count of days in a row. Any board can be sent as a link with your time to beat.
Numbers for enthusiasts
Best and average time, win rate and streaks for each level; after a win, 3BV, 3BV/s, the click count and efficiency.

Questions about Minesweeper

What do the numbers in Minesweeper mean?

A number is the count of mines in the eight cells around it — the four sides and the four diagonals. A 1 means exactly one of those cells hides a mine, a 3 means three. A cell with no number has no mines around it, which is why the game opens all of its neighbors for you.

What is no-guess mode, and can I still lose in it?

In no-guess mode the board is built so that, from your first click, there is always at least one cell that can be proven clear. Before you see the board, a solver plays it through using nothing but the numbers and the count of mines left. You can still lose — by opening a cell you did not prove. After a loss the game highlights the cell that was provably safe.

How does the game know whether my loss was a mistake or bad luck?

It takes the position just before your last move and counts every arrangement of mines that fits the numbers on the board. If your cell is a mine in all of them, you opened a known mine. If some other cell is clear in all of them, a safe move existed. If neither is true anywhere on the board, the guess was forced, and the game shows the odds your cell had next to the best odds available.

How do I put a flag on a phone without opening the cell?

Hold the cell: a ring fills under your finger, and the flag appears when it closes, before you lift the finger. Lifting early cancels the hold and opens nothing. If you prefer taps, switch from Dig to Flag below the board — then a tap flags and a hold opens. The hold time has three settings.

Do hints and taking a move back count against my record?

A game finished with a hint, with the odds shown, or after taking back a fatal move still counts as played and won, but it sets no best time and does not enter the average. The same goes for a second try at the board of the day.

What are 3BV and efficiency?

3BV is the smallest number of left clicks that can clear a given board: one for every opening and one for every number that touches no empty cell. 3BV/s is that number divided by your time, a measure of speed that does not depend on how easy the board was. Efficiency is 3BV divided by the clicks you actually made; it goes above 100% only when you open several cells at once around a number.
