How to Play Classic Mine Sweeper?
Use the mouse to uncover the free cells while avoiding mines hidden throughout the grid.
- Left-click on any cell to uncover it
- If you uncover a mine, the game ends immediately
- If you uncover a number, it indicates how many mines are adjacent to that cell
- Use these numbers to deduce safe cells and mine locations
- Right-click to place a flag on cells you suspect contain mines
- Continue revealing cells and flagging mines until no safe cells remain
- For keyboard accessibility, use arrow keys or WASD to navigate the grid and Enter or Space to interact with cells

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I click on a mine? If you click on a mine, it explodes and the game ends immediately. You'll need to restart from the beginning of that level.
How do the numbers help me find mines? Each number tells you exactly how many mines are touching that particular cell (including diagonally adjacent cells). If a cell shows "3," that means three of the eight surrounding cells contain mines.
Can I remove a flag if I change my mind? Yes, simply right-click again on a flagged cell to remove the flag. This allows you to correct misplaced flags as you gather more information about the mine locations.
