Open with a corner or edge move
Use the first click to reveal a large safe area
Learn the basic number rules
A number equals the count of adjacent mines
Flag all mines you can prove
Click all adjacent safe squares when a number’s remaining mine count is fully identified
Use 1-1, 1-2-1, and 1-2-2 patterns
Check corners, edges, and isolated clusters carefully
Combine overlapping number clues
Avoid guessing when a logical move exists
Work from confirmed safe squares outward
Keep track of flagged mines and unopened squares
Re-evaluate the board after every click
Use probability only when no certain move exists
Prefer moves that reveal the most information
Do not click randomly near uncertain numbers
Practice common endgame patterns
Stay patient and methodical
