Minesweeper

Minesweeper is a classic logic puzzle game where you clear a minefield using number clues. The goal is to uncover all safe squares without triggering any mines.

🧩 Game Rules

• □ = Hidden Square

• 1–8 = Number Clue

🔁 Common Patterns

Basic Patterns

• One mine in three squares: Pattern like 1 1 1 with unknowns below → the mine is likely in the middle

• Two mines in three squares: Pattern like 1 2 1 → mines are probably on both ends

Advanced Patterns

• Three mines pattern: 1 2 2 1 with four unrevealed tiles → mines often at positions 1, 2, and 3

• Corner trap: 2 2 at the edge with unknowns next to them → mine might be in the corner
