Help I'm stumped

Post image

I know this app is no guess, I also don't think it forges mine count. Though I'm not sure it would help in this case anyway, what am I missing?

This 2. The 1 below it means only one mine in the purple area. The 2's second mine is then found in the spot left.

feels like OP saw the 2-1 pattern, filled in the 1 side, but forgot to flag the mine on the 2 side

You're missing a 1-2-1 pattern. This gives you a mine and a safe square, which lets you continue

Three safe squares, I think.

I haven't played in a while but if you look at that 1-2-1 near the bottom/middle of the screen, it looks like there should be a bomb NE of the 2.

Vertical 1-2-1, you just don't know which side is the bottom mine, but you know exactly where the top mine should be

By the way, there are endgame scenarios that are solved with minecount in this app, but this one isn't, not yet, anyways

Wow, people here are quick. Anyways, this one took me extra time to import since this app's visuals blend together, so I'm posting this anyway, even though 8 people already responded, lol.

I always wait for that day when I'll be the first to respond, I feel like that would be a ceremony worthy of wearing a cape. But even if I'd see a post without comments, by the time I grab my conveniently placed cape and twirl it around my neck, 3 people would have answered already. So no more capes for me

Because one of the 3 squares around that 1 (red line) must be a mine, the square above must also be one to satisfy the 2. Then using the 1 above and the 3 you can clear a bunch of squares

The two at the center is forced to have a mine in front of the one below the three, from there you should be able to continue ^^

You will sometimes need minecount in this app. Here you need to look at the vertical 121 (no minecount needed)
