About Minesweeper

Minesweeper dates to the early 1960s but became world-famous when Microsoft bundled it with Windows 3.1 in 1992. It was designed to help users learn mouse skills. Minesweeper remains one of the best-known puzzle games ever made.

Is the first click always safe?

Yes — mines are placed after your first click, so you can never lose on the first move.

How do I flag on mobile?

Long-press (tap and hold) a cell to place or remove a flag.
