Minesweeper Deluxe

Minesweeper Deluxe gives you a board of covered squares with mines hidden among them, and the goal is to find every one.

You do that by flipping squares over. Each revealed square shows how many mines lie in its immediate surroundings. One count on its own rarely settles anything, but put several side by side and the position of a mine can be worked out rather than guessed. That is the whole puzzle: reading numbers, comparing neighbours and committing only when the counts agree.

The developer leans into the bomb-disposal theme, asking for steady hands and a quick sense of deduction, and compares the tension to choosing between the red wire and the blue one, while pointing out that this version is harmless. It is played in a portrait frame. The instructions describe flipping squares but do not name a mouse, touch or keyboard control.

Look at the covered board and flip a square to reveal it. Each revealed square shows how many mines are close by. Compare the numbers on neighbouring squares to deduce where the mines must be, then keep flipping squares you have reasoned are safe. Carry on until you have found every mine hidden on the board.

The developer does not list the controls for this game. It runs inside the frame above, so a click or a tap on the game is the place to start.

A number counts the mines around its square, so a number with exactly that many covered squares beside it tells you all of them are mines. Once those are known, any other covered square next to that number is clear. Work outwards from the numbers rather than flipping squares at random.

Minesweeper in a portrait frame: find every hidden mine by reading the counts on revealed squares. The developer lists no specific controls and gives no level count, board sizes or modes.

Minesweeper Infinite uses the same counting rule and adds an Endless field mode and a global leaderboard. Meow Sudoku is another deduction grid, placing cats so that no row, column or colour holds two.
