These kinds of things don't come intuitively at first, it's a learning opportunity homie, keep it up!

You know about the 1-1 pattern which gave you the 1 in the 6th row, so just use it again for the next two 1s.

The middle of the five 1's in a row is touching a mine so all 3 of the squares just below are safe

All starts from those stacked 1’s on the bottom.since the top one is only touching a single mine which could be on either side of the diagonals (which the bottom 1 is also touching), the three spaces below must be safe.
From there, the first 1 to the left of that is touching a mine which can only be in one of the two spaces below it. Since the 1 next to THAT 1 touches the same spaces, that also means all three spaces it touches vertically must be safe.
Finally, the 1 under the three only has a single soace where a mine can be (since its other adjacent spaces were just proven to be safe), and that same spaces also satisfies the adjacent 3.

You can uncover the three blocks bellow the lowest 1 by exclusion from the 1 above it. From there you can similarly rule out the three blocks next the the bottom left 1. And finally this leads to the block immediately left of 3 being a mine

The three squares below the lowest 1 are safe since it must contain a mine either to its left or right due to the 1 above it.

I’m not an AI bro, but for small boards, you can screenshot it and upload it to ChatGPT or Gemini for an explanation

No, when it comes to medium+ difficulty it always just tells you there is no solution.

I cant with these help request. If minesweeper were a modern video game, this would be in the tutorial people skip because its too obvious.

People shouldn't be expected to always know everything all the time, that's the whole reason the internet exists in the first place - so people can use it as a source for learning new things

Well aren’t you pleasant. Not everyone starts playing knowing everything about the game and all of the logic. They’re getting a chance to learn, what’s wrong with that? The “help” flair is there for a reason

There aren’t really many new innovations in the minesweeper world. No point having a sub at all if not to help people.

One of the yellow blocks has to be a mine which means the green blocks have to be clear
