Snappywords - Puzzles & Word Games - Minesweeper
Minesweeper is a classic single-player computer game played on a grid of hidden squares. Some of the squares conceal mines. The objective is to uncover all the safe squares without triggering a mine.

When you click on a square, it either reveals a number (indicating how many mines are in the surrounding squares) or it is empty. Using logical thinking and careful strategy, you must identify and flag the mines until all safe squares are revealed.

5 tips for successful Minesweeper play:

1. Use corners and edges

It’s often best to start in the corners or along the edges, where good starting positions are more likely.

2. Interpret numbers carefully

Each number shows how many mines are in the surrounding squares. Use these clues consistently to make safe moves.

3. Place flags

Mark squares you’ve clearly identified as mines with a flag to avoid mistakes.

4. Proceed step by step

Work through the grid gradually instead of clicking randomly and hoping for the best.

5. Stay calm when uncertain

If you must guess, do it carefully – there are often spots with a higher chance of being safe.
