* over 1 million downloads ++ #1 minesweeper 1 app now available in the appstore minesweeper is a very challenging game, and is one of the best games out there. minesweeper is a game that's installed by default on most computers that come with windows. now availble on your iphone/ipad/ipod. most people like to just click around the program hoping to not hit a mine, but here's how to play with strategy. it also is just a game of luck. check the numbers to find bombs. as you uncover tiles, you will see numbers revealed. a number means that there are that number of bombs touching that tile (both sides, top/bottom, and diagonally). if you see a 1 on the board, it means that square is touching exactly 1 mine you first start by selecting how miny mines you want to include your game. click any square, preferably towards the middle. most minesweeper players click random squares until a group of squares "opens" up. if 4 or 5 squares opened after your click, it's time to evaluate the numbers. if only one square opens after your click, find another random square. click known safe squares. eliminate squares that can't possibly contain mines by clicking and holding on that square than clicl on it once again until a "?" appears. say you found a 1, and you're pretty sure where the mine for that 1 is. you can click all the other squares around that 1 to open them, because the 1 can only be in contact with a single mine. keep moving through a process of elimination. as you go around the board, flag potential mines. if you find that you've flagged more mines than the game allows, go back and re-evaluate them.
