Read full descriptionHide full description
Minesweeper Twist is a variant of the classic game Minesweeper. Minesweeper is a simple puzzle game, where you need to use clues scattered on a grid to find all the mines. The clues are numbers indicating how many mines are in the neighboring tiles. Uncover incorrectly a single mine and you lose. Flag all the mines and you win. The variant: The difference is that the grid is irregular. On a regular grid, each cell has 8 neighbors, but in this case, they can have between 6 and 10. This leads to more difficult games, as you can't build the same mental tricks to solve where the mines are. Difficulty levels: The game opens on a beginner grid, which can be solved in a few minutes. You can increase the difficulty using the intermediate or expert settings, which will give you larger grids. You can also set custom settings, where you can have very large grids and also define the percentage of tiles that have a mine.

Minesweeper Twist is free to download; Glyn costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Minesweeper Twist holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Glyn has 92 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Glyn's written reviews are positive against 75% of Minesweeper Twist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Glyn ships an update every 8 days, Minesweeper Twist weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
