Objective: Uncover all safe tiles without clicking on any hidden mines.
First Click Guarantee: Your very first click is always 100% safe, clearing out a start area to get you going.
Reading Numbers: Revealing a tile shows how many mines are touching it (including diagonals). A "1" means exactly 1 adjacent mine, a "2" means 2, and so on. Blank tiles automatically expand to clear surrounding empty space.
Flagging & Marking: Right-click (or long-press on mobile/touchscreens) a tile to cycle through options:
1st Click: Place a flag (🚩) where you suspect a mine is hidden. This lowers your mine counter.
2nd Click: Place a question mark (❓) if you are unsure.
3rd Click: Clear the mark back to normal.
Chording Shortcut: Once you have placed flags around a revealed number tile, left-click that number tile to instantly clear all remaining hidden tiles surrounding it!
Resetting the Board: Click the smiley face button (🙂) at any time to start a fresh game.
