FAQ

Can I hit a mine on my first tap?

No. Mines are placed after your first tap, keeping that cell and its neighbors clear.

How do I flag on a phone?

Hold a cell for about half a second, or turn on flag mode so a normal tap places a flag.

Why is the board tall on my phone?

Eight columns keeps cells big enough to tap. On wider screens the board turns sideways.

Yes. Use the arrow keys to move, Enter or Space to open, and F to flag.
