Minesweeper is still one of the best single-player logic games ever made. Click a square, use the numbers, don't hit a mine. That's the whole game — but the depth comes from reading the patterns.

You can play it right now in your browser at the Minesweeper tool. No download, no account, no timer pressure unless you want it.

How Minesweeper Works

The grid starts covered. Click any square to reveal it. If it's a mine — game over. If it isn't, it shows a number from 1–8 (or blank if no adjacent mines).
