Beginner
Grid: 9 × 9 · Mines: 10 mines
For newcomers to Minesweeper or a relaxed casual game.
Beginner is a 9×9 grid with 10 mines. The low mine density means wide clearings open up often, making it the best level for getting used to the rules and basic techniques.
This difficulty is verified to be solvable all the way through by logic alone with no guessing. You can clear it comfortably using just the basic rules and the 1-1 and 1-2 patterns.
- Open the center first to secure a wide clearing.
- Start by counting the closed cells around each number to find spots that are all mines or all safe.
