Questions
Is Minesweeper free to play?
Yes. Minesweeper is free in the browser on Play Online Games. There is no download and no account.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Open the play page on a phone, desktop, or Chromebook. The game runs in the tab.
How do you play Minesweeper?
Click to reveal. Numbers count adjacent mines. Right-click or long-press to flag. Chord by clicking a satisfied number. Your first click is never a mine.
When do daily puzzles reset?
Daily Five, the Mini Crossword, Prompt Brawl’s daily boss, and the Water Sort daily puzzle reset at midnight Eastern Time. Other games can be replayed any time.
Is the first click safe?
Yes. The first open cell is never a mine on any difficulty.
How do I flag a mine on a phone?
Long-press a closed cell. If you start to scroll, the long-press cancels.
How do I flag a mine on a Chromebook?
Two-finger tap the cell, Alt+click, or right-click. On a touchscreen Chromebook, long-press about half a second. The first click is still safe.
What are some Minesweeper tricks?
Chord a number once you have flagged every mine next to it. Watch for 1-2-1 patterns. The first click is always safe, so start where you can open a wide area.
