Overview 
Minesweeper
지뢰찾기
Use numbers as clues to uncover every safe tile—without hitting a mine.
Simple rules, sharp logic, and that one risky click when the board gets tight.
Logic PuzzleClassic
Goal & Core Rules
Clear all safe tiles (or mark all mines, depending on settings) without detonating a mine.
- Revealing a tile shows a number: how many mines are in the 8 surrounding tiles.
- Use the numbers to deduce where mines must be, and flag them.
- Revealing a mine ends the game immediately.
- A tile with 0 adjacent mines auto-expands to reveal nearby safe tiles.

Beginner Tips
- Start near edges/corners to simplify early deductions.
- Flag only when you’re sure—opening more safe tiles often gives better information.
- Prioritize areas that will reveal new numbers (more information) over low-info clicks.
Advanced Tips
- Learn common patterns (e.g., 1-2-1) to identify forced mines/safe tiles quickly.
- When logic runs out, choose moves that maximize future information gain.
- In true 50/50 situations, pick the lower-risk side based on remaining mines and space.

FAQ
Do I have to flag every mine to win?
Usually you win by revealing all safe tiles. Some modes also support “flag all mines” as the objective.
Is the first click always safe?
It depends on the implementation. Many modern versions guarantee a safe first click by regenerating the board.
What should I practice first?
Reading number clusters after a 0-expansion, plus memorizing a few common forced patterns.
