Classic Minesweeper

Classic Minesweeper is the free browser version of the legendary logic puzzle — clear the minefield without detonating a single bomb. Play instantly on Gipcus with no download and no account.

How to play Minesweeper online

1. Click (or tap) a square to reveal what is underneath.
2. A number shows how many mines sit in the eight surrounding squares.
3. Right-click (or long-press) to plant a flag on a square you think hides a mine.
4. Use the numbers as clues to deduce safe squares and flagged mines.
5. Clear every non-mine square to win. Hit a mine and the round ends.

Tips to clear the board faster

• Start near the center or edges to open large empty regions quickly.
• When a number matches the count of flagged neighbors, every other neighbor is safe — open them.
• When a number matches all remaining unopened neighbors, flag them all.
• If two possibilities look equal, mark uncertainty and come back after opening nearby clues.
