Minesweeper
The classic grid deduction game: clear the minefield using numerical clues with a guaranteed first-click safe opening, intelligent chord clearing, tactile flag placement, and retro LED displays across Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert difficulties.
Tactile deduction console
Read the numbers, test a deduction, and reveal carefully. Keyboard-friendly, touch-ready, with optional visible-information practice hints.
Arrow keys navigate · Enter/Space reveal · F flags · C chords.
Custom board
At most rows×columns−9 mines, preserving a full interior 3×3 first opening. Custom records are separated by dimensions and mine count.
Rules, Chording & Deduction Tips
Safe first opening: The clicked cell and its neighbors are mine-free. This does not guarantee a whole no-guess board.
Revealing Cells: Left click (or tap in Normal mode) on any unrevealed tile.
Flagging Mines: Right click, long press, or toggle 🚩 Flag Mode to mark suspected mines.
Intelligent Chording: Click on an already revealed number when you've placed the matching number of flags around it. All other surrounding tiles will reveal in an instant!
Number Colors: 1 is Blue, 2 is Green, 3 is Red, 4 is Navy, 5 is Burgundy, 6 is Teal.
Practice hints: The helper uses only revealed numbers and local/subset constraints. It neither peeks at hidden mines nor assumes your flags are correct. It can say “no certain move found”; it is not a complete solver. Hints and pausing make a run assisted, with a separate best-time record.
Phone & keyboard: Pan large boards horizontally; both outer columns remain reachable. Change cell size for comfort. Long presses cancel when your finger moves or the board scrolls. Arrow keys keep focus on the same persistent board cells; F flags the focused cell, and C chords a revealed number.
