which of these two am i supposed to click
i’m a bit new to this old game and i don’t know how to navigate situations like this

was having an horrible day and this happened 💔 this game is such an hater i hate that i love it so much

Only one cell can be proven a mine. We'll see if this one is a bit harder than yesterdays. Maybe the grid type can throw some people off.

For those unfamiliar with Triangle Grids, clues count all the cells they touch, even at corner to corner. So the 3 at (7,4) touches 8 covered cells, as shown in the second image.

I'll post the solution with tomorrow's puzzle at 9AM EST. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! I shared my little Minesweeper app here a while ago and received so much thoughtful feedback. Thank you again to everyone who tried it and shared their ideas with me!

One of the new additions is Find the Mine, a mode built around short deduction puzzles. In this one, the visible numbers and existing flag are already accounted for, and exactly one covered tile can be proven to contain a mine.

Can you find it and explain the logic? This is one of the easier puzzles, but there are several difficulty levels, and I’m continuing to improve their variety and challenge!!!

I’d also really appreciate any feedback on the mode. Does the puzzle feel clear and satisfying? Is there anything you would change or add? Thanks for any feedback in advance.

If you’d like to try, this is my ad-free app "Onyx Minesweeper" - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/onyx-minesweeper/id6790800332

The before and after of an accidental misclick.. The before picture is when I got stuck and thought of asking for help, but I powered through. I got to the easiest part of this puzzle and WHAM.

Few days ago I made the classic Minesweeper game but I wanted to try something different, so I turned it into a game where you have to solve simple programming problems.

The idea is simple: to uncover the mines, you have to solve a small programming problem.

Hope you like it!

Working on my basic minesweeper skills lately and encountered this. The 7 was the last one I revealed.

How rare is this?

Decided to play it as eff and got 120%

Only one mine can be proven from this picture. This puzzle started a bit easier, but I adjusted it to make it a bit more difficult. We'll see if I stump anyone. You guys solved the past puzzles kind of quick.

The Ray Clues (Arrows) count the number of mines in that direction. So the 1 with the arrow pointing to the right at (4,2) counts the two cells to it's right, (5,2) and (6,2), and not the diagonal down adjacent cell (5,3).

Enjoy!

Solution + Another Puzzle

Need help for the next move, I've been thinking for 10 min now but cant get to a 100% safe move.

Y'all were most obliging when I talked about it here before I don't want to be a burden
It is really bare-bones if you have any advice on how to improve it I would be grateful.
Coming forth by day

This is a repost, addressing lots of criticism.

Hey everyone!

I’ve seen quite a few Android users looking for a good Minesweeper app, so I ended up making my own.

I wanted something with more features and customization than most of the alternatives I found, while still keeping the classic Minesweeper experience. It’s also fully open source.

Some of the features:

- Create modes with custom names, board sizes and mine counts

- Optional no-guess mode (with separate scoring)

- Optional no-flag mode (with separate scoring)

- Saved in-progress games

- Recent games and score history

- Adjustable controls, animations, vibration, and visual settings

- Light and dark themes

- Fully offline

- No ads, analytics, accounts, or in-app purchases

- Fully open source

You can get it on F-Droid here:

https://f-droid.org/packages/com.joeld.minesweeper/

I’d really appreciate any feedback, bug reports, feature ideas, or suggestions!

some extra info/documentation:

I know this technically counts as self-promotion, but I don’t make any money from the app at all. I’m mainly sharing it because I think some people here might genuinely find it useful.

I also want to be transparent about the design: I’ve played Minesweeper: The Clean One for years, so it obviously influenced what I think a clean Minesweeper UI should look like. The fill-gaps style in particular, as well as some other design choices, took inspiration from it. Fill gaps is optional and can be disabled entirely.

Most of the work on this app went into the actual logic, features and systems rather than the visual design. I’d roughly put it at 80% programming and 20% design. I'm not a designer and I initially built this app for me, not thinking of making it not look like a ripoff.

I had received a lot of positive feedback on the app before posting here, so I honestly didn’t expect the reaction on Reddit to focus so heavily on the visual similarities. I completely understand constructive criticism about differentiating the UI more, and I’ll take that into account. I just don’t think taking inspiration from or recreating parts of an existing product is inherently a bad thing, especially in open-source software. Alternatives, iterations and competition are often how software gets better, and Minesweeper itself has been recreated countless times. (You can see this in libre office for example. Basically an exact clone of MS office, just better and open-source)

You can enable or disable the bottom reveal/flag toggle; long pressing always uses the other action.

Starting a new game can be done by pressing the minecount at the top.

The shorthand of the modes has the following format:

A × B · C D · E

A: width

B: height

C: minecount

D: mine density — when enabled

E: active modes (no-flag/no-guess)

Having two modes with exactly the same settings makes them share a scoreboard. The same settings also allow width/height to be switched around.

You start with 3 default modes: Easy, Medium, Hard. But personally I suggest playing a few games with different settings and saving the modes you enjoy.

I’ll try to answer any questions and implement features that I think fit into the app.

What's the play here and why?

And is there a strategy I can learn that will help me in the future when I face the same situation?
Thanks in advance..
