Minesweeper
Clear the minefield without detonating any mines!
What Is This Tool?
Play Minesweeper free in your browser — no download, no account, and no ads interrupting the game. Reveal tiles on a grid to uncover numbers that tell you how many mines are hiding in the neighbouring squares, using logic to figure out where it's safe to click next. Choose from Easy, Medium, or Hard difficulty, keep track of the Mines counter and Time, and use Flag Mode to mark tiles you believe hide a mine.
How to Use
- Choose a difficulty — Easy, Medium, or Hard — before starting.
- Left-click a tile to reveal it; a number shows how many mines are in the surrounding tiles.
- Turn on Flag Mode, then click a tile to mark it as a suspected mine instead of revealing it.
- On desktop, right-click a tile to place or remove a flag without switching modes.
- Use the revealed numbers to work out logically which nearby tiles are safe to open.
- Keep an eye on the Mines counter and Time as you clear the board.
Common Use Cases
- Practising logical deduction and pattern recognition
- Taking a focused, screen-only break between work or study sessions
- Replaying a classic puzzle game without installing anything
- Challenging yourself with a harder difficulty as your skills improve
- A quiet puzzle to play on a phone without downloading an app
Tips & Tricks
- Start by clicking a tile near the middle of the board — early clicks tend to open up more free space.
- Use the revealed numbers together, not in isolation — comparing adjacent numbers often reveals which tiles must be mines.
- Flag a tile as soon as you're confident it's a mine so you don't misclick it later.
- If you're unsure whether Easy, Medium, or Hard suits you, start with Easy to learn the grid before moving up.
- Take your time — Minesweeper rewards careful reasoning over guessing, and the Time counter keeps running either way.
