The safe opening is ready. Follow the numbered clues.
easy Minesweeper
Practice exact counts on a compact field.
Easy Minesweeper keeps the classic goal: reveal every safe square while using each number as the exact count of adjacent mines. The board shown here measures 9 × 9 with 10 mines and begins from a fixed safe opening.
This example is designed for about 4 minutes. Before publication, the solver completed it in 28 single-clue and subset deductions, so the intended path does not depend on a lucky first click or a forced random guess.
Begin at the open boundary and look for clues that touch only one unknown square, or clues whose required mines are already flagged. These direct counts create a clean chain of safe reveals.
Reveal and Flag modes make touch input explicit, while Undo and Hint preserve the reasoning loop. An incorrect reveal stays covered instead of ending the run, and the full board state is stored locally if you pause or leave the page.
Common questions
What makes this Minesweeper easy?
The 9 × 9 field contains 10 mines and requires 28 verified deductions after its safe opening. The rating reflects board scale and logical depth.
How should I approach an easy board?
Begin at the open boundary and look for clues that touch only one unknown square, or clues whose required mines are already flagged. These direct counts create a clean chain of safe reveals.
What should I do when every move looks uncertain?
Recount every flag around the simplest visible clue. Easy boards usually continue from one missed safe neighbor or one unmarked mine.
Can this board require a guess?
No. The published starting position was verified with deterministic single-clue and subset deductions. A logical next move exists even when it appears on another part of the open boundary.
