Minefield

Sweep every safe square without setting off a mine. The numbers don't lie — deduce, flag, clear.

A faithful trip back to Minesweeper, the way it looked on a Windows 3.11 desktop. Each number tells you how many of the eight surrounding squares hide a mine; from that alone you can reason out where the mines are. Left‑click (or tap) to uncover a square, mark the ones you've deduced with a flag, and clear every safe square to win. Your very first click is always safe.

Click an uncovered number whose mines you've already flagged to chord — it opens all the remaining neighbours at once. Beginner, Intermediate and Expert each keep your best time on this device; or set up a custom field of your own.
