Tap (or click) a tile to reveal it. Your first tap is always safe.
A revealed tile shows a number indicating how many of its 8 neighbors contain mines.
An empty tile (no number) means zero adjacent mines â its neighbors are automatically revealed in a cascade.
Long-press (or right-click on desktop) to place a flag on a tile you suspect is a mine.
Long-press a flagged tile again to remove the flag.
Tap a revealed number when the correct number of adjacent flags are placed to auto-reveal the remaining neighbors (chord reveal).
Reveal all non-mine tiles to win. Hit a mine and it is game over.

đĄ Tips & Strategies
Start at the edges or corners â they have fewer neighbors, so the numbers are easier to work with.
Use the numbers. If a "1" tile has only one unrevealed neighbor, that neighbor must be a mine â flag it.
Subtract known mines. If a "3" already has two flagged neighbors, only one more adjacent tile is a mine.
Use chord reveal to speed up play. Once all mines around a number are flagged, tap the number to reveal the rest at once.
Look for patterns. Common patterns like 1-2-1 along an edge always resolve the same way.
Flag conservatively. A wrong flag can cause a chord reveal to hit a mine. Only flag when you are sure.
Change difficulty using the buttons at the bottom: Easy (9x9, 10 mines), Medium (16x16, 40 mines), Hard (16x30, 99 mines).
