Instructions

🎮 How to Play

Welcome to Mine Finder! Your mission is to clear a grid of hidden mines using logic and deduction. Start by clicking any tile to reveal what’s underneath. A number indicates how many mines are adjacent to that square. Use these clues to deduce safe spots. Right-click or long-press to place a flag on squares you suspect contain mines. Uncover all non-mine tiles to win, but click a mine and it’s game over! Mastering Mine Finder gameplay is all about strategic thinking and careful pattern recognition.

🎯 Objectives

The primary objective in Mine Finder is to successfully reveal every single tile on the grid that does not conceal a mine. Your short-term goal is to use the numbered clues to safely expand your revealed area, often creating satisfying chain reactions. Your long-term target is to achieve this without ever detonating a hidden explosive. Victory is achieved through careful analysis, logical deduction, and efficient flagging of all potential threats. Success means a cleared board and a high score based on your completion time.

💡 Pro Tips

• 🎪 Master the 1-2-1 Pattern: When you see a sequence of 1-2-1 on adjacent tiles, the mines are always under the flags on the two 1s. This classic pattern is a huge time-saver.
• ⚡ Work from the Edges Inward: Start solving from the edges and corners where you have more revealed information. This creates a solid foundation to work from and reduces guesswork later.
• 💰 Speed is Key for High Scores: Your final score is often based on time. While accuracy is paramount, improving your speed with efficient clicking and flagging shortcuts will boost your leaderboard ranking.
• 🏆 Use Logic, Not Guesses: If you find yourself needing to guess, look at the entire board again. There is almost always a logical deduction you’ve missed. Flag only what you’re sure of to avoid costly mistakes.
• 🧠 Utilize the Chord Feature: If you have correctly flagged all mines around a numbered tile, clicking on the number itself (or using both mouse buttons) will automatically reveal all other adjacent tiles, speeding up your progress significantly.
