Every board can be solved with logic. You never have to guess. That is the whole promise, and in this version it finally holds. The solver behind every board was rebuilt, so you are never dealt a position that cannot be reasoned through. No 50/50 coin flips five minutes into a careful deduction. WHAT YOU GET FREE Three boards a day, and everything else in the app. Every theme, every mode, every feature. No ads of any kind, not between games and not for a hint. No account. Nothing to watch. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY Classic - Beginner, Intermediate, Expert, or a board you size yourself Retro Challenge - win to advance, one wrong move ends the run Daily Challenge - the same board for everyone in the world, once a day Sprint - survive as many rounds as you can Series - four linked boards in one sitting THREE LOOKS Quarry, warm stone. Deepfield, dark and quiet. Bevel 95, if you remember the original. BUILT FOR A PHONE Tap to open, long-press to flag, double-tap a number to clear its safe neighbours. Undo when your thumb betrays you. A first safe hint in every game. Haptics on every action and a millisecond timer for your records. Mino, a small owl, sits with the board and gets nervous when the numbers get tight. MINESWEEPER PRO Pro lifts the three-a-day limit. That is the only thing it changes - everything else is already yours. Lifetime, $4.99 once. Or weekly at $2.99. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Terms of Use: https://cmlapps.github.io/minesweeper/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://cmlapps.github.io/minesweeper/privacy.html
