Minesweeper is pure logical deduction—no luck involved once you master the patterns. Our implementation includes the three classic difficulty modes (Beginner 9x9, Intermediate 16x16, Expert 30x16) with mine densities carefully balanced for optimal challenge.
The world record for Expert difficulty is 31 seconds. I've been playing for 5 years and my best is 95 seconds, which shows the incredible skill ceiling. Speed comes from pattern recognition—experienced players instantly recognize common formations (1-2-1 means safe corners, 1-2-2-1 means mines on ends) without conscious thought.
Learning curve mastery: We include a hint system that explains WHY a square is safe/mined, teaching the underlying logic. After 50 games, most players can solve Beginner grids in under 60 seconds. The satisfaction of clearing Expert with zero flags (pure deduction, no guessing) is unmatched.
Best for: Logic puzzle enthusiasts, anyone wanting to improve deductive reasoning, competitive players chasing world records. Excellent focus training.
