Play Minesweeper online free
Numbers tell you how many mines touch a square. Use logic to clear every safe square without revealing a mine. Your first click is always safe.
On phones, turn Flag mode ON and tap cells to flag them, or long press a cell.
How to play Minesweeper
Click a square to reveal it. Right-click to place a flag where you think a mine is hiding. On touch screens, long press a square (half a second) to place or remove a flag.
Minesweeper tips
- Start from a corner or edge, where numbers give cleaner information.
- A "1" touching only one hidden square means that square is a mine. Flag it.
- When the flags around a number match the number, every other square around it is safe.
- Easy (9x9 with 10 mines) is the right board to learn these patterns.
