Frequently asked questions
How do you flag mines in Minesweeper?
Right-click a square on desktop to place a flag, or long-press it on a touchscreen. You can also switch on flag mode in the toolbar so every tap places a flag instead of revealing a square.
What is chording in Minesweeper and how do you do it?
Chording clears every unflagged square around a revealed number in one move, once you have flagged exactly as many mines as that number shows. Click the revealed number again to trigger it and clear the area faster.
Does Minesweeper guarantee a safe first click?
Yes, mines are placed only after your first click, so that click always opens a safe, empty area. This matches the classic rule and means you are never blown up on the very first move.
What difficulty levels and board sizes does Minesweeper offer?
There are three boards: Beginner at 9x9 with 10 mines, Intermediate at 16x16 with 40 mines, and Expert at 16x30 with 99 mines. Your fastest clear time for each difficulty is saved on the device.
