About Original Minesweeper
Minesweeper, done right — a clean, fast, and scrupulously fair take on the logic puzzle you already know by heart. No gimmicks, no gotchas. Just you, a grid, and the numbers your own safe clicks leave behind. Read the clues, deduce what's safe, and clear the board without setting off a mine. FAIR BY DESIGN • True first-click safety — your very first tap is always safe and always opens a useful area. You'll never lose on move one. • Every board is solvable by deduction. Confidence, not luck, decides the outcome. BUILT FOR REAL PLAY • Three classic difficulties: Beginner (9×9), Intermediate (16×16), and Expert (30×16) — the decades-tested ratios, preserved exactly. • Custom boards — set your own width, height, and mine count, with a warning when density gets too high to solve cleanly. • Chording — tap a satisfied number to clear its neighbors at once, so bigger boards stay fast, not tedious. • Flags, question marks, a mines-remaining counter, a timer, and the classic smiley reset. • Pinch to zoom and pan large boards; a one-tap Dig/Flag switch and a left-handed option for comfortable one-handed play. DAILY CHALLENGE • One shared board a day — the same for everyone — with a streak to keep alive and a result you can share. MAKE IT YOURS • Four themes: Classic, Slate, Sunset, and Terminal. • A colorblind-friendly number palette. • Per-difficulty best times, win rates, and a "Flawless" badge for clearing a board with every mine correctly flagged. TWO EXTRA MODES (optional) • Fog — only cells near your last move stay lit, adding a memory challenge. • Countdown — beat the board before the clock runs out. NO NONSENSE • No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts. No tracking. No data collection. • Works completely offline. Every theme is free. Whether it's your two-minute daily habit or a long Expert grind, this is Minesweeper the way it's meant to be played.
