About

Mine Grid

Read full description

Minesweeper without the coin flip. Every board in Mine Grid is checked by a solver before you ever see it, so it can always be finished with logic — no dead ends, no losing on the last tile because the game wanted a guess. WHY IT IS DIFFERENT • Never guess — every board is run through a solver until it is provably solvable • See the logic — the hint rings the numbers that prove the next move instead of just handing you the answer • Instant restart, big tiles, flagging that does what you meant — the three things minesweeper players complain about most FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • Classic — Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert, or build your own board up to 30×50 • Journey — endless levels that grow with you, three stars for speed • Rush — two minutes, clear as many boards as you can, twelve seconds back for each one • Daily — the same puzzle for everyone, every day, with a streak worth keeping PROGRESS THAT STAYS XP and levels, a best time for every size, win rates, daily streaks, Game Center leaderboards and achievements. FAIR ABOUT ADS Free, funded by ads between rounds — never during one. A single purchase removes them for good. The ads that give something back — a second chance, a hint, extra time in Rush — are always yours to choose. Plays offline. No account. Seven languages.
