This is not Minesweeper. It borrows its numbers. The board is handed to you complete. Some cells show numbers; the mines are hidden. Nothing to click open, nothing to blow up, nothing to restart. You work out where every mine is. NO GUESSING. EVER. Every board is checked by a solver before it ships: if it cannot be finished by reasoning alone, it doesn't get in. When you are stuck, the information is already on the screen — you just haven't found it yet. FIVE RULES, NOT ONE • Classic — a number counts the mines around it • No Touch — no two mines may sit side by side • Liar — every number is off by exactly one • Far — numbers count a 5×5 area, not 3×3 • Odd/Even — clues tell you odd or even, never the count Then the rules start combining: Liar + No Touch, Far + Odd/Even, and more. 160 LEVELS, MEASURED NOT GUESSED Difficulty isn't a label someone typed in. It's the depth of reasoning a puzzle actually requires, measured by the same solver that verifies it. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY, FOREVER Generated from the date, so everyone gets the same one. Keep a streak. Share your result without spoiling the puzzle for anyone. NEVER IN THE MIDDLE OF A PUZZLE Ads only between levels, never on the board. The daily puzzle has none. Free: all of Classic, the first half of No Touch, and the daily puzzle forever. Every other level unlocks with a short ad — or buy the full version once to open everything and remove ads.
