Minesweeper
Reveal every square that is not a mine. Each number counts the mines touching that square, and from those counts the whole field can be reasoned out. Every board in Winters Puzzles is generated so it can be solved without guessing — the coin-flip that ends a round in most versions is not in this one.
How it works
- Reveal every square that isn't a mine to win.
- A number counts the mines touching that square, including diagonals.
- Flag the squares you have worked out are mines. Flags are for you — they are not needed to win.
- Tap a number with all its mines flagged to open the rest of its neighbours at once.
- Every board can be solved without guessing.
The same rules are shown inside the app, on the puzzle’s overview screen — one tap opens the difficulty choice and how to play together, so you never have to go looking for them.
Good if you want…
- A familiar puzzle without the unfair endings
- Quick deduction under a little pressure
- Playing the same thing at three different sizes
