r/Minesweeper

I keep getting my minesweeper games ending like this, where I use 5+ hints or just click randomly hoping I don’t hit a bomb. What moves am I supposed to do in situations like these? Or are ending like this common?

First photo is where I got stuck, 2 is the answer. Same pattern with 3 and 4.

I’m just wondering what to do when there multiple options for a move, yaknow?

EDIT: the app is Offline Games by Moreno Maio

Surely I can satisfy this with either one mine to the right of the 2 or a mine to the left of the 2 and one, two to the right of the 2?

What kind of features would you want out of a minesweeper level creator? I'm currently in the process of making one, and I'd love some feedback/ideas.

I used it to create the puzzles I've been posting over the past two weeks. There's still a lot of work to be done, but I wanted to give an early look and get some feedback.

Help :<

Sorry didn-t have a yellow marker so I pissed on the field to mark the guessing squares

I'm guessing it's a minecount thing but i really can't find anything, I'm stuck. Guys please help!

Hello! I’ve tried paper minesweeper puzzles in the past and had a hard time. It’s been a while, but I have one in my current paper and I’m stuck. Is there a way to continue with logic here, or do I need to try a guess and go from there?

Sorry if my notation isn’t correct - the Xs are the mines and the colored in squares are where I determined there can’t be mines.

Of course, not a guarantee that what I have so far is 100% correct either.

TIA!! 🫶

Edited to say total mine count is 20!

Hi again, back with another calendar tear out.

Erased my solution in the first photo so people can give it a go on their own first.

Thanks to those who commented on the last one! It really helped me figure out-ish this one.

However it looks like there’s two solutions? Or am I missing something?

I don't even know what i am supposed to play here 😭😭

there are four pictures,

1. flagged mines with center numbers filled in
2. un-flagged mines with center numbers filled in
3. flagged mines with all adjacent numbers filled in
4. un-flagged mines with all adjacent numbers filled in

"unique mutually asymmetric arrangements" means every possible way for a cell to be surrounded by mines that doesnt flip and/or rotate into any of the other ways. for instance there are only two 1's because it can only ever be touching a mine from the corner or the edge, and all other corner/edge cases are just rotations of those two.

there are 50 total (51 if you count zero. i didnt so that i could make the table be 10x5):

0 cell: 1
1 cell: 2
2 cell: 6
3 cell: 10
4 cell: 13
5 cell: 10
6 cell: 6
7 cell: 2
8 cell: 1
