No ads. No distractions. Just classic Minesweeper, rebuilt for iPhone and iPad. Minesweeper brings the classic familiar logic puzzle to modern touch screens with intuitive controls, clean graphics, advanced algorithms, and the classic rules you expect: a safe first tap, flags, question marks, chording, and the original difficulty levels. Stuck? Use Hints that prioritize simple deductions so you can learn the logic instead of blindly guessing. Hit an unavoidable 50/50? Luck helps prevent forced guess losses when you choose one of the safest mathematically available squares. Made a mistake? Smart Undo lets you rewind a loss while shuffling hidden mines so the puzzle stays interesting. Features: • Classic Minesweeper rules and difficulty levels • Custom boards • Safe first tap • Flags, question marks, and chording • Hints that teach logical deductions • Luck for unavoidable guesses • Smart Undo after a loss • Statistics by difficulty • Winning streak, win rate, best time, and median time tracking • iPhone and iPad support • Mouse, trackpad, and Apple Pencil support • No ads or in app purchases. This is my gift to you :) How to play: Reveal every safe square without tapping a mine. Numbers show how many adjacent squares contain mines. Tap to reveal, press and hold to flag, and tap a completed number to open ("chord") nearby squares. Start a new board at any time with the smiley button. Built for classic Minesweeper players, speed solvers, logic puzzle fans, and anyone who wants a clean, fast puzzle game without ads. Having trouble or have a feature request?
