๐Ÿ“œ History of Minesweeper

Minesweeper first appeared as a Windows game in 1989 and has been a beloved classic puzzle game worldwide. It uses numbers and logical thinking to identify mine locations - a simple yet profound game.

With difficulty settings for beginners to experts and logical puzzle elements that don't rely on luck, it appeals to players of all skill levels.

Detailed How to Play
1. Starting the Game

Click any square to start the game. The first click will never hit a mine.

2. Reading Numbers

The number on a revealed square shows the total count of mines in the 8 surrounding squares. Use this information to deduce mine locations.

3. Using Flags

Right-click squares where you're certain there are mines to place flags. Flagged squares won't open with left-click, keeping you safe.

Strategy Tips
1. Start from Corners and Edges

Corner and edge squares have fewer surrounding squares, making it easier to identify mine locations.

2. Learn Patterns

Number patterns like '1-2-1' or '1-2-2-1' have rules for mine placement. Learning patterns helps you solve faster.

3. Think Logically

Always open squares where mine locations can be logically determined, rather than guessing.
