Classic Minesweeper with no guessing, no ads and no bad luck. A logic puzzle where every board is solvable with pure deduction. Minesweeper Y is the classic Minesweeper puzzle game, rebuilt for iPhone and iPad. Turn on No-Guess mode and every minefield can be cleared with logic alone. No 50/50 coin flips, no losing a great run to a blind tap. It's a true no-luck puzzle: read the numbers, flag the mines, clear the grid and chase your best time. It's free Minesweeper with no ads at all, and it plays offline wherever you are. HOW TO PLAY 1. Tap any tile to start. Your first tap always opens a safe area. 2. Each number shows how many mines touch that tile. 3. Long-press or switch to flag mode to mark a mine with a flag. 4. Tap a number whose mines are all flagged to open every neighbour at once (chording). 5. Clear every safe tile to win, then try to do it faster. FEATURES - NO-GUESS MINESWEEPER: Every board is 100% solvable, a skill-based puzzle, not a lottery. If you lose, it's on your logic, not on luck. Minesweeper, no guessing: the way it was always meant to be played. - AD-FREE PUZZLE GAME: No banners, no pop-ups, no videos between games. Just the puzzle. - GLOBAL LEADERBOARD: Compete by difficulty and see where your best time ranks worldwide. Every winning board gets stamped with your global rank. - PERSONAL BESTS: Every win shows how it ranks among your own games, so you always know when you've set a new record. - PRO STATISTICS: Track the numbers expert players use. 3BV measures how complex a board is, 3BV/s measures your solving speed, and Efficiency shows how few taps you needed. Watch them improve game after game. - FROM BEGINNER TO EXPERT MINESWEEPER: Easy, Medium and Expert boards, from a relaxed casual puzzle to a real logic challenge. - UNDO A MISCLICK: Hit a mine by accident? Undo your last move and keep going. One slip doesn't end the game. - CHORDING: Open several tiles with one tap and sweep faster, the way speed players do. - OFFLINE PUZZLE GAME: No connection needed. Perfect for flights, commutes and quick breaks. - CLASSIC RETRO LOOK: A clean, nostalgic design inspired by the original, with satisfying haptics and sounds. - LIGHT AND DARK MODE: Follows your system setting, so the board is easy on the eyes day or night. - iPHONE AND iPAD: A board that fits every screen, with portrait and landscape layouts. - MADE WITH PLAYERS: Suggest features and vote on ideas right in the app. ONE GAME, MANY NAMES Around the world, this classic goes by many names: Minesweeper, Mine Sweeper, Minefield or Sapper. Whatever you call it, the rules never change. Open the safe tiles, flag the mines and trust the numbers. Minesweeper Y keeps the classic Minesweeper you love and removes the one part that never felt fair: guessing. A BRAIN GAME FOR EVERY DAY Minesweeper is one of the best logic games ever made: simple rules, endless boards and real strategy. Every move is a small deduction puzzle, and every board is a strategy puzzle you solve one number at a time. A quick Easy game is a 30-second brain teaser and the perfect daily puzzle break. A clean Expert run is a challenging puzzle and a serious test of concentration, reasoning and pattern recognition. Whether you're a seasoned puzzle solver or new to number puzzles, it's the thinking game that trains your mind without distractions. Made by one independent developer. Every game you play and every best time you set makes my day, and your feedback shapes what comes next. Download Minesweeper Y and play the classic the way it should be: fair, fast and free.
