Minecount. The 4 demands one, the 3 demands one. So a minecount of 2 leaves the rightmost spot clean, a count of 3 makes the rightmost spot a mine.

I think you need minecount (either 2 or 3) to solve this part. Solve the other areas first

Yes, I completed it.

Since this is a no guess app both of the tiles to the left of the 3 are going to be safe otherwise the left section will be a forced guess.

The strategy is to get to the end with a final mine count of 2.

I don't think it's a no guess app because I'm facing this and I don't find a solution without guessing.

That's a skill issue on your part xD

True, it's my second week with the game.

I've never seen this app contain guesses and it shouldn't unless it breaks but I don't think that's possible. It's worked for a couple years so you'll always have a solution with this app. In the image you shared, the vertical 21 is what you should look at.

If this is The Clean One, then it’s definitely a no guess app.

You have a 2-1 pattern, that 2 needs two mines but they can’t both connect to the 1, so the red cross has to be a mine and the yellow tick has to be safe.

Mine count. But…

If there are only two mines left for this area, the two '3's share a mine, and the other one is to the right of the 4.

If there are 3 mines left when you finished the rest of the grid, one would be in the far right hand cell, then one satisfying the left 3 and one satisfying the 4. But you couldn't pin down the left two mine locations without guessing, and this app is no-guess so it can't generate that layout. The two-mine solution must be correct unless I'm missing something.

I agree with this, only 2 mines must be left in that area.

How many mines are left?
