You will never have to guess. In most minesweeper games there comes a moment near the end where two squares are left and there is no way to know which one is the mine. The game ends on luck instead of skill. Minesweeper Zero does not create those boards. ■ Every board is solvable by logic Each board is solved end to end by a solver before you ever see it. If it needs a guess even once, the board is thrown away and a new one is generated. Only boards that pass make it to your screen. No 50/50s. ■ Difficulty means reasoning required, not mines added Easy, Medium and Hard are not defined by how many mines were added. They are defined by what kind of reasoning it takes to finish. Boards of the same difficulty actually feel about equally hard. ■ Nine combinations Three difficulties × three board sizes. Every board is generated fresh, so you never solve the same one twice. ■ Controls built for thumbs · Tap to reveal, hold to flag — or swap the two · A ring fills while you hold, and nothing commits until you lift. Slide off the board to cancel · Choose how long the hold takes — Fast, Default or Slow — and try it right there in Settings · Tap a revealed number to open its neighbours at once ■ No ads, no tracking, no account No banners. No full-screen interruptions. No "watch a video to continue." No sign-up, no sign-in, no email. ■ No internet required, at all On a plane or underground, it behaves exactly the same. The app makes no network connections, so nothing about you leaves your device. Your records stay on your iPhone. ■ Buy once, done No subscription. No in-app purchases. You will never hit a paywall for hints. Future updates are included. ■ Stuck? A hint plays one move for you It does not just uncover a random safe square. It finds a square that logic already decides right now, and plays it. There is no limit on hints — but a game played with hints does not go on the best-time board. ■ Your records Best times and clear rates per difficulty and size, filterable by the last 7 or 30 days. Best times count only games finished without hints. ■ Also Dark mode · iPhone and iPad · Autosave and resume · Haptics · Auto-pause Zero means nothing but the puzzle. Zero ads, zero tracking, zero accounts, zero network. Sudoku Zero, built on the same principle, is also on the App Store.
