Tips for a better score
- You never have to flag to win; the field clears once every safe cell is open, so when racing the clock just open around mines you've spotted.
- Every opened cell is worth 10 points even if you lose, and a win adds 2,000 minus ten a second, so that bonus is gone after 200 seconds.
- The daily field never needs a guess: if you feel stuck, look at two numbers side by side and compare the cells only one of them can see.
- Tapping a number to open around it trusts your flags completely, so if one flag is wrong it opens a mine; only do it when you're sure.
- On a phone, a tap you didn't mean can be cancelled: slide your finger off the board before lifting and nothing opens or gets flagged.
About Mine Sweep
Mine Sweep is a logic puzzle on a 10 by 14 field hiding 22 mines. Every opened cell shows how many mines touch it; use the numbers to work out where the mines are, flag them, and open everything else. There is one daily field, the same for everybody until your own midnight, which starts on a marked cell and can always be cleared by pure logic, with no guess ever needed. Practice deals a fresh random field every round, and your first tap there is always safe. Clear the field fast for a time bonus, or tap a mine and it's over.
A free mine-clearing puzzle that runs in your browser. Category: Puzzle games. Made for RetroWorld with original art and sound.
