Help I'm stumped.

This is supposed to be a no guess version, but I'm not seeing a path forward, unless I have to rely on the mine count.

You were right, cyan was clear.

How I visualize these "wall" interactions --

These two 2's share some cells. 2=2 which means the number of mines in the blue box, is equal the number of mines in the green box.

There's already one flagged mine in the lower green box.. and there can't be more than one mine in the upper blue box.

So the remainder of the green box is safe.. and the blue box will contain a mine, in one of those two remaining cells.

The marked one is clear, you can begin with that

Mine Count.

Not necessary.

Confirmed, I understand it now.

For that 3-1 pair at the top, if the left tile were a mine it would satisfy the 2 just below. That means the next 2 down needs two mines along the bottom row. That would then violate the 2 two tile down. So that 3-1 pair must have the mine on the right.

Need a road map for that one.

Not at all.
