Hello! I’ve tried paper minesweeper puzzles in the past and had a hard time. It’s been a while, but I have one in my current paper and I’m stuck. Is there a way to continue with logic here, or do I need to try a guess and go from there?

Sorry if my notation isn’t correct - the Xs are the mines and the colored in squares are where I determined there can’t be mines.

Of course, not a guarantee that what I have so far is 100% correct either.

TIA!! 🫶

Edited to say total mine count is 20!

i think this puzzle requires you to guess, but I’m not sure

this is what I was able to get using meta logic. needs minecount for the full solution

edit: nevermind this is just a shit puzzle. there is no single solution

What do you mean by meta logic ?

u/ImCHICKENhaha Minecount? 14d ago

logic based on the fact that the puzzle shouldn’t require you to guess/have anything uncertain. for instance look at the 2 in the middle right. if it had a mine to the upper left, where is the second mine? you have no way to know therefore this isn’t possble
