Minesweeper Pattern Practice

Practice on small boards. A mixed round has ten questions. Decide whether the highlighted square is safe, has a mine, or is still unknown. Check every square around each number and subtract known mines.

Try a worked example

The middle 2 touches A, B and C. Each end 1 touches two squares. A + B = 1, B + C = 1, and A + B + C = 2. So A and C have mines, and B is safe.

The shown covered squares are the only unknown squares around these numbers. Gaps stand for open squares or the board edge. Check every nearby square before you apply the result. Flags in these examples mark known mines.

A mixed round has 10 questions. They cover two basic counting rules, four number patterns, and subtracting known mines. You also practice extra nearby squares, unknown answers and 2-1-2. Boards can be rotated or flipped.

Your first answer counts. Accuracy is your correct answers divided by the questions answered. After the round, retry the same boards you missed. The review has a separate score, and your original result stays visible.

Three covered squares above 1-2-1 can be proved mined at both ends and safe in the middle.
