About Minesweeper
The classic Minesweeper. Reveal cells to clear the board, using the numbers — each shows how many mines touch that cell — to deduce where the ten hidden mines are. Flag the mines and reveal every safe cell to win; click a mine and it’s game over. Your first click is always safe. It runs entirely in your browser, no signup or download.
