About Minesweeper
This Minesweeper version uses a 10×10 board with ten mines. Mine placement is delayed until the first dig, allowing the code to guarantee that the clicked cell and its surrounding 3×3 neighborhood contain no mines.
Touch players can switch between Dig and Flag modes, while desktop users can also right-click to flag suspected mines.
How to Play Minesweeper
1Start in Dig mode and reveal a cell.
2Read each revealed number as the count of mines in its eight neighboring cells.
3Switch to Flag mode to mark cells you believe contain mines.
4Reveal every non-mine cell to win.
Minesweeper Rules
- The board is 10×10 with exactly 10 mines.
- The first clicked cell and its eight neighbors are protected from mine placement.
- Digging a mine ends the game.
- You win when exactly the ten mine cells remain unrevealed.

Minesweeper Game Mechanics
Objective
Reveal every safe cell on a 10×10 board containing 10 mines, using adjacent-mine numbers and flags to avoid explosions.
Round End
You win when only the 10 mine cells remain unrevealed; digging a mine ends the game immediately.
- Dig and Flag are explicit modes on touch devices; desktop right-click also toggles a flag.
- Revealing a zero-adjacent-mine cell recursively opens connected zero areas and their numbered boundary cells.
- The timer starts only on the first actual dig, at the same moment mines are placed.
- Elapsed time and board state are not persisted after a reload.
Tips & Strategies
- Start from large zero areas when available because they expose many safe cells at once.
- Use flags as working markers, not guesses you refuse to revisit.
- When a number already touches the same number of flags as its value, its other hidden neighbors are candidates to open.
