How to play Minesweeper
- Reveal a cell to see how many mines touch it.
- A number counts mines in the eight surrounding cells.
- Flag any cell you believe is a mine so you do not click it by accident.
- Clear every safe cell to win. The first click is always safe.

Tips & strategy
- Start from a corner or edge — fewer neighbours means less ambiguity.
- If a numbered cell already touches that many flags, the rest of its neighbours are safe.
- If a number equals its unrevealed neighbours, every one of them is a mine.
- When genuinely stuck, guess in the region with the most open space rather than a tight corner.
