📖 How to Play & Rules – Minesweeper
- Uncover all safe squares on the board without detonating any hidden mines (💣).
- Your very first click is always 100% safe and opens up a clear starting zone.
- Numbers on revealed squares indicate how many mines are hidden in the 8 surrounding neighbor squares.
- Mark suspected mines with a Flag (🚩) using right-click on desktop or the large '⛏️ Dig / 🚩 Flag' toggle button on mobile.
- Pro Feature (Chord Click): Tapping an already revealed number whose adjacent flags match its value automatically reveals all remaining neighbor cells!
💡 Strategy Tips & Tricks
- Look for 1-2-1 patterns along flat walls: When you see 1-2-1 along an edge of unrevealed cells, the mines are always adjacent to the two 1s, leaving the cell next to the 2 safe.
- Use Chord Clicking to save time: Once you've flagged all mines around a number, tap the number itself to clear its remaining neighbors instantly.
