How to Play

Goal

Reveal every safe cell without hitting a mine. Use the distance numbers to pinpoint where mines are hiding.

How to Play

  • Left-click a cell to reveal it.
  • Right-click (or long-press on mobile) to place or remove a flag on a suspected mine.
  • Your first click is always safe — mines are placed after it.

What the Numbers Mean

Each number is the distance to the nearest mine — not just adjacent cells. A 1 (red) means a mine is right next to you. A 3 or higher (yellow/green/cyan) means the nearest mine is at least 3 cells away, and nearby cells will auto-reveal.

Difficulty

  • Easy — 9x9 grid, 10 mines.
  • Medium — 16x16 grid, 40 mines.
  • Hard — 16x30 grid, 99 mines.

Tips

  • Red and orange numbers (1-2) mean you are very close to a mine — flag neighbours carefully.
  • Yellow, green and cyan numbers (3-5) are safe territory — clicking them auto-reveals nearby cells.
  • Triangulate: where two different distance numbers overlap, the mine must lie at their intersection.
