Result

Open keys. C is a mine. The LCD keeps the clock.

How to play

  1. Pick a level and a C-mine count. Click Start, then open a key. The first click is safe.
  2. A number is the count of neighbouring C keys. Flag the C keys.
  3. Open every safe key to get OK on the LCD.

Formula

For an open cell, n = count of mines in the eight neighbours. Win when opened = cells − mines.

Frequently asked questions

What is a mine?

A mine is a C key, like clear on a calculator. An opened number tells how many C keys sit next to it.

How do I flag a cell on a phone?

Turn Flag on, then tap the key. On a computer the right mouse button also works.

Can the first click hit a C?

No. The first open and its neighbours stay empty. Mines are planted after that.

What levels and mine counts can I pick?

Seven keypads: from 8×8 to 24×24, plus classic expert 30×16. Mine count is a second setting, from a sparse grid to a dense one. The clock sits on the LCD.
