Minesweeper is a logic puzzle where you reveal every safe cell on a grid without detonating a hidden mine. Each number tells you how many mines touch that cell — read the clues, flag the mines, and clear the board. Play Minesweeper online for free right here, with three classic board sizes.

No ads. No sign-up. Just the game.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Minesweeper game really free?

Yes — completely free, with no ads and no sign-up. Open the page and play. There is no premium tier and nothing to unlock.

Do I need an account to play Minesweeper online?

No. There is no registration and no login. The game runs entirely in your browser — pick a board size and start revealing cells.

What do the numbers mean in Minesweeper?

A number shows how many of the 8 surrounding cells contain a mine. If a cell says 1, exactly one of its neighbours is mined — flag it, and every other neighbour is safe to reveal.

Is the first click always safe?

Yes. The board is generated after your first click, so you can never hit a mine on the opening move.

What's the difference between easy, medium, and hard?

Board size and mine count. Easy is a 9×9 grid with 10 mines, medium is 16×16 with 40 mines, and hard is 16×30 with 99 mines — the classic Minesweeper presets.

Can I play Minesweeper on my phone?

Yes. The game runs in any modern browser — desktop, tablet, or phone — with tap-to-reveal and flag controls. Nothing to download or install.
