How to Win on Minesweeper?

Start with a click near the center

Use the first revealed numbers to identify safe squares

Open all guaranteed safe squares before guessing

Flag only mines you are certain about

Use common patterns like 1-1, 1-2-1, and 1-2-2-1

Count adjacent flagged mines around each number

Count remaining hidden neighbors around each number

If flagged mines equal the number, open all other adjacent hidden squares

If hidden neighbors equal the remaining mine count, flag them all

Work from solved areas outward

Prioritize corners and edges when they become logically constrained

Avoid random clicks unless no safe move exists

Use probability to choose the least risky move when forced to guess

Keep track of overlapping number constraints

Recheck the board after every new reveal

Practice recognizing patterns quickly

Play carefully on higher difficulty boards

Do not rely on flags alone; verify with counts

Finish by clearing all non-mine squares

Use chord clicks when available to open multiple safe squares quickly
