MineSwordle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Enjoy Minesweeper, but hate losing when you are forced to guess? Mineswordle lets you defuse mines when you hit them! Each mine has a 5 letter codeword to defuse it, and your clues in adjacent squares include one random letter from each adjacent mine. Solving the codewords works in a similar manner to the popular word games Wordle and Quordle Caution! Hitting a mine will reveal the squares to the top, left, right, and bottom of the mine, and any mines revealed must be solved simultaneously with the first mine! Solving one mine will add an extra guess for the others, and will reveal the mine's clues for its adjacent mines. If the adjacent mines that get revealed were flagged, you'll get an extra guess for each flag. Features: - Quick Daily Puzzles - Challenging Weekly Puzzles - Power-ups to help solve tricky puzzles! - Rewards for solving puzzles! - Daily sign-in rewards - Practice modes for Minesweeper and word puzzles - Play the daily or weekly puzzle for any past date - All major features work offline! * *Shop requires access to App Store for purchases that help the developer... buying power-ups with gems still works without network access.
