Try to choose the guesses with the best odds of success if you are forced to make one. I generally like to guess close to the center of the screen so I have many directions to work from & expand out toward.Off the start the game is a game of random guessing until you get the field to open up.I figure if you select hard mode you are probably better at this game than I am 😀 This strategy advice presumes you are playing on easy or medium.You can win this game when all empty squares are uncovered even if some mines have not yet been flagged.This game requires all empty squares be uncovered.Some minesweeper games require you to flag all mines but not clear all empty squares to win.You win the game when all the squares without mines are opened up & you lose if you click on a mine.The game has a menu select button in the upper left corner for restarting a game and a sound control button in the upper right corner.The top of the playing field shows how long you have played and how many mines remain based on your flag count.You can also long click a flagged square to remove the flag.Use the mouse left click to select a square and hold it to flag a square.Quickly tap on a square using the mouse left click to uncover it.

The welcome screen also has a button for game play info in the upper left corner and a sound control button in the upper right corner.

As a kicker, about half the squares are bombs, so not only are you reduced to making opening guesses repeatedly, but each guess has about a 50% chance of blowing up.

On hard mode you often end up creating walls of flags & the problem with that is a flag does not yield any information about what is beyond the flags on the other side.

Easy is quite so, medium is reasonable, and hard is masochistic. The difficulty level of this game increases geometrically across difficulty levels.Hard: The playing field is a 12×14 grid (168 squares) with 80 mines hidden in it.Medium: The playing field is a 10×12 grid (120 squares) with 40 mines hidden in it.Easy: The playing field is a 9×9 grid (81 squares) with 20 mines hidden in it.Click on the difficulty level you wish to play to start your game.Flagged squares can be unflagged using the same method.
