Daily Minesweeper

Daily Minesweeper is free, no-guess Minesweeper. Every board is checked by a solver before you see it, so it can always be cleared with logic alone: no 50/50 coin flips at the end. The game opens with a safe area already revealed. Each number tells you how many of its eight neighbors hide a mine. A new board appears every day at 00:00 UTC, the same for every player, and practice mode has unlimited easy, medium and hard boards. Made a mistake? Undo it and keep going; your result shows how many mistakes you made.

How to play

1. Tap a square to dig. A number shows how many mines touch that square, including diagonals.
2. Long-press, right-click, or turn on Flag mode to mark a square you know is a mine.
3. Tap a number whose mines are all flagged to open the rest of its neighbors at once.
4. Open every safe square to clear the board. Try for a flawless clear with no mistakes.

Tips and strategy

• Start at the edges of the open area. A 1 with only one hidden neighbor means that neighbor is a mine.
• When a number already has all its mines flagged, every other square around it is safe.
• Look for the 1-2-1 and 1-2-2-1 patterns along a straight edge. In 1-2-1 the mines sit under the two 1s; in 1-2-2-1 they sit under the two 2s.
• Compare neighbors. If a 1 touches two hidden squares and the 2 next to it touches those two plus one more, that extra square is a mine.
• Near the end, count the mines left. If the counter matches the hidden squares in one corner, they are all mines.
