How to play Minesweeper

  1. Pick a level: beginner (9×9, 10 mines), intermediate (16×16, 40 mines) or expert (30×16, 99 mines).
  2. Click a square to open it. A number tells you how many of the eight squares around it hide a mine.
  3. Right-click a square you think hides a mine to flag it. On a phone, press and hold, or turn on Flag mode.
  4. Open every square without a mine to win. Click a number whose mines are all flagged to open the rest around it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I lose on the first click?
No. Mines are placed after your first click, away from that square, so the first click always opens an area.
How do I flag a mine on a phone?
Press and hold the square, or tap Flag mode and then tap squares to flag them.
What does clicking a number do?
If you've flagged as many squares around a number as the number says, clicking it opens all the other squares around it. If a flag is wrong, a mine goes off.
Is my best time saved?
