What is the trick of Minesweeper?
The 6 touches 6 squares so they must all be mines. The 7 touches 7 squares so they must all be mines. The 8 touches 8 squares so they must all be mines. A simple trick involves pressing both buttons on a number to depress (but not open) the squares it touches.
What do the numbers in minesweeper mean?
The numbers on the board represent how many bombs are adjacent to a square. For example, if a square has a “3” on it, then there are 3 bombs next to that square. The bombs could be above, below, right left, or diagonal to the square. Avoid all the bombs and expose all the empty spaces to win Minesweeper.
