<p>I LOVE Minesweeper. It is addicting. But it’s also frustrating, so sometimes I stop playing for a while (^ that scenario would be a catalyst for a hiatus).</p>

<p>My best scores are:
Beginner - 8
Intermediate - 36
Expert - 122</p>

<p>For those who don’t know how to play:

  • The first click is random; sometimes, the first few clicks are random. But once you start seeing some numbers, you can successfully avoid the bombs.
  • Each number block is touching that number of bombs (so a 1 is touching one bomb, a 6 is touching six bombs). “Touching” means diagonally as well as the sides.
  • You can right click on an unclicked square that is for sure a bomb, which helps you keep track of everything AND protects you from accidentally clicking a known bomb and losing.
  • You use logic to figure out which unclicked squares are bombs. An easy example would be if you see a 1 that is only touching one other square - then you know that that square MUST be a bomb. And say that there’s another 1 which is also touching that now-known bomb, but it’s also touching some other squares. You now know that those other squares can’t be bombs, so you can click them. And you just uncover the whole board until you’ve right-clicked all the bombs!</p>

<p>Has anyone played Nonosweeper? You can Google it and download it. It’s similar, but not really the same at all.</p>

<p>I got my beginner time down to 63. =/</p>

<p>lol. I am sooo much slower than the rest of you.</p>

43

<p>if you click with both fingers on a number that is already touching that many bombs, then it opens all the others around it.</p>

<p>sweet i got minesweeperx on my new computer</p>

<p>My expert record is 108 I think. It sucks though when you get down to the last 3-5 bombs and the entire board goes BAM!PPPPPSHHHH because you were forced down to that last 50-50 guess. :[</p>

<p>btw Freecell>Solitaire anyday.</p>

<p>Best time on Beginner: < 1sec.
I was lucky enough to click on a space that cleared everything.</p>

<p>Playing properly, my best time is 11sec. I thought that was fast XD</p>

<p>I’ve played it quite a bit, but nowadays I have more productive ways to waste time.</p>

<p>This thread motivates me to learn how to play. I’m one of the people who opened the game, clicked wildly a few times, and quit.</p>
