Minesweeper Daily
About Minesweeper Daily
Minesweeper Daily is the classic logic puzzle in your browser, set in a dark deep-sea theme. Click to reveal cells, read the numbers to work out where the mines are hiding, flag them, and clear every safe cell to win. Pick a board from the menu: Beginner is 9×9 with 10 mines, Intermediate is 16×16 with 40, and Expert is 30×16 with 99. Your first click on these boards is always safe and opens up a clear area, the timer starts as soon as you click, and the game keeps your best time for each difficulty. The Daily Puzzle is a 16×16 board with 40 mines, seeded from the date so there is a new one every day. Each Daily board is checked by a logic solver before you play it: start at row 8, column 8, counting from the top-left corner, and the whole board can be cleared by deduction, with no coin-flip guesses. You get one attempt per day, starting with your first dig, and your result becomes a shareable emoji card with one square per row and your time. The timer pauses while the game is in a hidden tab. Once a number has all its flags placed, click it to reveal the rest of its neighbors in one go. Reveals ripple across the board, flags land with a pulse, and a mine goes off with a shockwave. On touch screens, tap to reveal, hold for half a second to plant a flag while a ring fills around the cell, and on small screens drag to look around and pinch or tap the zoom button for a closer view.

Tips & Strategies
- ✓Start the Daily Puzzle at row 8, column 8 (counting from the top-left): that cell and its neighbors never hold a mine, and from there the board can be solved by logic alone. If you feel stuck, look for numbered cells whose remaining unknowns exactly match their remaining mine count.
- ✓Use chord-clicking: once you've flagged all mines around a number, click that number to instantly reveal its other neighbors.
- ✓On a phone, pinch or tap the zoom button for bigger cells, and drag to move around the board.
FAQ
Is this game free?
Yes! Completely free, no download or account required.
What does 'no-guess guarantee' mean?
Every Daily Puzzle is checked by a logic solver before you play it. Start at row 8, column 8 (counting from the top-left corner): that cell and its eight neighbors never hold a mine, and from there every remaining cell can be worked out by pure deduction — no 50/50 guesses required. Open somewhere else first and that first click is a gamble, just like on any other board.
How do I flag on mobile?
Long-press a cell for half a second (a ring fills around it and the flag drops), or tap the Dig button to switch to Flag mode so every tap flags. A quick tap in Dig mode reveals the cell.
Can I play more than once per day in Daily mode?
Each Daily Puzzle allows one attempt per day. Your attempt starts with your first dig: if you leave, refresh or close the page before finishing, the Daily ends where you stopped and your result card shows how much of the board you cleared. You can come back and share your result card anytime.
