Explainable Minesweeper

About Explainable Minesweeper

Explainable Minesweeper keeps the familiar rule of classic minesweeper: a grid hides mines, clicking a tile reveals a number showing how many mines are in the eight adjacent tiles, and your goal is to clear every safe tile while flagging all mines. Unlike the original, there is no guesswork. Every move can be deduced from the numbers already revealed, so you should never need to click a tile you are not sure about.

The game’s standout feature is its hint system. When you are stuck, the Hint button does not simply point to a tile; it shows the logical chain that identifies it as safe or mined. This turns each puzzle into a lesson in inference. The satisfaction comes from solving a grid entirely by reasoning, and as boards grow larger and denser, the deductions get layered and more demanding.

Tips to win

• Start by scanning for numbers that are already surrounded by enough flags; those force adjacent tiles to be safe.
• Use the hint not just to find a move but to understand the reasoning, so you can apply the same pattern later.
• If you suspect a tile is safe but can't prove it, look for a connection between two or more numbers; shared tiles often reveal certainty.
