Mines
The classic hidden-mines logic puzzle — with boards you never have to guess on.
About Mines
Mines is the classic minesweeper-style logic puzzle, free in your browser. Uncover every safe cell: each number tells you how many of its eight neighbours hide a mine, so you can work out where they are and flag them. The first click is always safe and opens up an area. Turn on no-guessing mode and every board can be solved by logic alone. Three classic sizes — Beginner, Intermediate and Expert — with chording, a flag mode for touch screens and a hint when you're stuck.
How to play
Click a cell to uncover it; right-click (or long-press, or use the FLAG button) to flag a mine. A number shows how many mines touch that cell. Click a number whose mines are all flagged to open the cells around it. Uncover every cell that isn't a mine to win. Arrow keys and Space work too; F flags, H gives a hint.

Tips for Mines
- Start with the corners of the opened area: a 1 touching a single hidden cell means that cell is a mine.
- A number with all its mines flagged means every other neighbour is safe — click the number to open them all.
- Look at pairs of numbers side by side: what one rules out often settles the other.
- Count flags against the mine counter near the end; the last few cells often settle themselves.
- With no-guessing mode on, there's always a safe move by logic — keep looking before you take a risk.
