What is distinct here
PlayFree’s Minesweeper edition keeps the established clue rules but improves the opening experience with a guaranteed safe first move and a surrounding safe area. Mobile flagging is documented instead of being hidden.
Rules
- The board contains 10 mines hidden among 81 cells.
- Numbers show how many mines touch that cell.
- Reveal every safe cell to win; the first tap is always safe.
Strategy tips
- Start near the center.
- A clue counts mines in all eight neighbors.
What we tested
Review validates mine generation after the first choice, ten unique mines, adjacent counts, empty-area expansion, flags, win and loss states, right click, long press cancellation, restart and responsive 9×9 sizing.
Frequently asked questions
How do I place a flag on mobile?
Press and hold a closed cell for about half a second.
Can the first move hit a mine?
No. Mines are generated after the first selection with a safe opening area.
