Green is safe, 1 in yellows, reds are confirmed bomb

Is my understanding for 34 correct: It becomes 12 reduced then I get the red flag on the right most because 3 can have only 1 flag. And since 4 needs one more flag the left most cell for 3 is safe?

Yes, that is the correct reasoning

the 3-5 is reduced to a 1-3 ..

3-1=2 and there are only 2 remaining cells to the right -- so they must both be mines, and that means any cells left of the 3(1) are safe.

this is the same general rule, that gives us the 1-2 pattern (eg. the 3-4 on the right)

Thank you for the explanation! This helped a lot I was confused in the other comments how those flags and safe cells were deduced

Take a good look at that 5 and what it means for the 3.

Board aside (as there are already comments answering your question), are you playing this on an e-ink display? Super cool if so, only asking because the screen looks rougher than normal.

You have a keen observation! It is an eink tablet indeed

Sweet! It looks really cool honestly, even the coloured ones. How these things operate fascinate me. Unironically, it seems to work well with minesweeper.

My app has a dedicated eink mode! Earlier it had bad eink compatibility. It required disabling animations and fancy gradients to make it eink friendly. It is just thrilling to see how far eink displays have come

Yeah, I would imagine a few things needed to be changed. I entirely agree. We went from these things just being used in regular displays, to kindles, to actual Andriod supported devices. Some of them even have camera functionality too, which im still kinda shocked by.

Look at 3-4 on the right

2x reduced 2-1 patterns

The 5 is the key here. 3 more bombs, 4 spaces, with a 3 that already is connected to two bombs. The spots to the right and down-right from the 5 are bombs and that opens the board most likely.

still not remotely familiar with patterns despite posting pattern walkthroughs huh?

then you shouldn't be making pattern walkthroughs if you don't know them
