Minesweeper Online — Free Classic Game, Google Minesweeper Style
Play free online Minesweeper right in your browser — no signup, no downloads, no ads blocking the board. This is the classic Microsoft Minesweeper game people know from Windows and the Google Minesweeper doodle, rebuilt as a fast, mobile-friendly minesweeper online game with Easy, Medium, and Hard boards.
How to play Minesweeper
The minesweeper rules are simple: reveal every safe square on the grid without clicking a mine. Tap (or left-click) a cell to dig. Long-press (or right-click) to plant a flag on a suspected mine. Clear all safe cells and you win — hit a mine and it's game over. That's how you play Minesweeper, whether it's Google Minesweeper, Microsoft Minesweeper, or Minesweeper Plus.
What do the numbers mean in Minesweeper?
When you reveal a safe cell, it shows a number from 1 to 8. That number tells you how many mines are hidden in the eight neighbouring squares. A "1" means exactly one mine touches that cell; a "3" means three of the eight neighbours are mines. Blank cells have zero adjacent mines and automatically open up their neighbours in a cascade — that's how Minesweeper works under the hood.
Minesweeper patterns every player should know
Great Minesweeper players don't guess — they read patterns. The most common ones:
- 1-1 edge pattern: two "1"s in a row along an opened edge — the cell diagonal to the second "1" is safe.
- 1-2 pattern: a "1" next to a "2" along an edge tells you exactly where two mines sit.
- 1-2-1 pattern: the two outer cells are mines and the middle is safe.
- Corner rule: a "1" tucked into a corner with only one hidden neighbour — that neighbour is always a mine, flag it.
