Play faster, think clearer, and enjoy Minesweeper without unfair guesswork. Minesweeper Classic Puzzle brings the familiar grid puzzle to iPhone with no-guess boards, a safe first tap, daily streaks, Coach explanations, and quick resume when life interrupts. Terms of Use (EULA) - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula Choose the board that fits your moment: Beginner 9 × 9 with 10 mines, Intermediate 16 × 16 with 40 mines, Expert 16 × 30 with 99 mines, Master 20 × 30 with 130 mines, or a Custom board with 5 to 30 rows, 5 to 30 columns, and mine density up to 33%. What You Get: - No-guess puzzle generation so boards are designed to be solvable by deduction. - First-tap-always-safe play, with the 8 neighboring tiles also kept safe. - Auto-flood-fill on zero tiles to open large safe areas in one tap. - Auto-chord on revealed numbers when your flags already match the number. - Long-press to flag, plus a Dig ⇄ Flag toggle for easier one-tap flagging. - Undo last move from the HUD with three free undos per game. - Pause and resume anytime without losing your place. - Auto-save and Resume so your latest in-progress board is ready when you come back. - Results with final time, difficulty, streak after, Perfect badge, No hints badge, and Share Result. Coach Mode: Tap Coach on the game screen when you want help without giving up control. The recommended tile gets highlighted and a short explanation appears, such as why a tile is safe, where a mine must be, or which best guess is least risky when no forced move exists. Free play includes 3 Coach hints per day, while Pro unlocks unlimited explanations. Coach never plays the move for you. Daily Challenge: Play the same Intermediate puzzle everyone gets that day and build your streak. Track current streak, best streak, and total daily completions. After a win, share a square result card sized for social posts and chats.

Theme changes appear instantly and carry across the play screen, share card, and home launchpad. Stats: Track win rate and best time for Beginner, Intermediate, Expert, and Master. See current streak, best streak, and total daily completions. Free players can also preview an advanced misflag heatmap upgrade in Stats. How It Works: - Tap Beginner 9 × 9 · 10 mines for a quick coffee-break game. - Use the Daily tile to open today’s Intermediate 16 × 16 challenge. - Hit Coach in the HUD to see Safe at, Mine at, or Best guess at guidance. - Tap Share Result to send a 1080 × 1080 win card through the iPhone share sheet. - Use Resume on the home launchpad banner to return to your latest saved board.
