How to win minesweeper

Minesweeper is a game of finding mines. The goal is to complete a grid by “clearing” it of mines without detonating any. Each time you play the game you will be in a different level. The higher the level, the more difficult the game. There are five levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert, Pro, and Master. Each level has its own set of rules and each level also has its own set of flags to use. You start out on Beginner with only one flag and one square, but you can gain more flags as you play through the levels.

How to win minesweeper?

How to win minesweeper

Step 1: Start out with a clean grid.

Step 2: Find a flag and move it to the square above each square you have already cleared.

Step 3: Find a flag and move it to the square below each square you have already cleared.

Step 4: Find a flag and move it to the square on top of each square you have already cleared.

Step 5: Find a flag and move it to the circle below each circle you have already cleared.

Step 6: Find a flag and move it to the circle above each circle you have already cleared.

You can’t win minesweeper, however, if your grid contains more than one mine, then your turn will be over and you won’t get another chance until next round’s play begins (you will continue playing until your grid clears). If your grid has only one mine then that mine is considered “cleared” and no matter how many flags you find on other squares, clearing that one square will not count as “winning”.

Minesweeper is a game of luck and skill. You may be lucky enough to spot a live mine on all of the squares you have cleared so far, but whether or not you are able to do this depends on how many mines there are in total. If there are only a few mines then it will be easy for you to spot one of them, but if there are many mines then it will be much harder for you to find one.

Step 7: Find a flag and move it to the circle above each circle you have already cleared.

Step 8: Find a flag and move it to the circle below each circle you have already cleared.

Step 9: Find a flag and move it to the square on top of each circle you have already cleared.

Step 10: Find a flag and move it to the square below each circle you have already cleared.

Note that your grid must now contain at least one mine for your turn to end, otherwise your turn will continue from step 11.

Step 11: Move all of the flags you have found to the circle above each circle you have already cleared (these are your mines).

If you now find a flag that is not on any of the circles you cleared then it has been ‘cleared’ and you can move it to the circle below each one.

Step 12: Move all of the flags you have found to the square on top of each circle you have already cleared.

If there are no more flags left then your turn ends and your grid is considered “cleared”. If there are still mines left on your grid then move them onto their respective squares as shown in step 9 above (i.e. move a mine from square x to square y if it is on square x).

On some levels there may be several different kinds of mine, or even multiple types of mine, so make sure that when moving a mine that it goes onto its correct square (e.g. if you have an explosive mine and a burning mine, the explosive one goes on the square with the explosive symbol, not the square with the burning symbol).

Step 13: If you have 5 flags left then your turn ends and you can move onto step 14.

If you do not have 5 flags left then your turn continues from step 12.

Step 14: If you have 1 flag left then your turn ends and you can move onto step 15.

If you do not have 1 flag left then your turn continues from step 13.

Step 15: Move all of the flags to either side of the square on top of each circle that is shown in red below (these are your traps). Note that this will only happen if there are still mines on your grid!

Is Minesweeper a skill or luck?

It is a skill game, some people are better at it than others, but it is possible for anyone to get good at Minesweeper (as long as they don’t mind spending a lot of time on it). It is also a game that can be very frustrating to play if you do not have a good strategy (though the only way to get better at it is to play more minesweeper).

In general I would say that Minesweeper is more luck based than skill based. The best way to improve your skills in minesweeper is by playing expert levels. This will teach you how mines work and how to make the best use of your flags and traps.

There are many different ways people play minesweeper, some players just place all their flags in one corner, or all their flags on one side of the board, or they play very conservatively with no flags at all. This makes them very predictable and easy for other players to beat.
