Classic minesweeper. Clear every safe square without detonating a mine — logic, flags, and a little courage.

How to play
Reveal squares by tapping. Numbers tell you how many mines touch that square (including diagonally).
Flag suspected mines: turn on 🚩 FLAG MODE, long-press a square, or right-click it.
Chord: tap an already-open number once all its neighboring mines are flagged — the rest open at once.
Your first click is always safe. Clear every mine-free square to win.
Difficulties: Beginner 9×9/10 mines, Intermediate 16×16/40, Expert 16×30/99. Best times are saved per difficulty.
💡 Tap the hint button to highlight a provably-safe square when you're stuck.

About Minefield
Minefield is our minesweeper-style logic game: a grid hiding mines, numbered clues, and exactly one way to clear it safely — your brain. Flag the mines, clear the safe squares, and feel like a genius when the board opens up.
Minesweeper is pure deductive logic, and the patterns repeat. Learn the 1-2-1 and 1-2-2-1 patterns and you'll solve most boards without guessing. When you must guess, pick the square with the lowest mine probability — and flag aggressively to keep track.
Quick tips
Start in a corner — fewer neighboring squares means safer opening logic.
Learn the 1-2-1 pattern: it pinpoints mines with certainty.
When stuck, guess the square touching the fewest unopened neighbors.
