The Goal

Reveal every safe tile. Numbers show how many hazards touch that tile.

Revealing and Marking

  • Tap or click a hidden tile to reveal it.
  • Long-press or right click to place a marker on a suspected hazard.
  • Markers prevent accidental reveals and help you track the count.

Numbers and Chords

  • If a revealed number has the same count of markers around it, you can chord.
  • Chord reveals the remaining neighbors in one move.
  • Double-tap a number (or press Space) to chord quickly.

Phone Mode Assist

  • Phone Mode offers Safety Shield, which converts one mine tap into a marker.
  • Assists only apply while Phone Mode is active.

Quick Tips

  • Use chord clears to open large safe areas fast.
  • Zoom and pan when the board is larger than the screen.
  • Switch Tap Mode to Flag when you need to mark quickly.
