1. Tap on a square to begin the game. The first square is always safe and reveals a number or a blank area.

2. Each revealed number shows how many mines are hidden in the adjacent 8 squares.

3. Use logic to determine which nearby squares are safe to click and which may contain mines.

4. If you're sure a square contains a mine, press and hold (or use the flag tool) to place a flag on it.

5. If you reveal a square and it’s blank, all adjacent squares will automatically open, helping you clear large areas.

6. Continue revealing squares and placing flags based on the numbers and existing flags.

7. Avoid tapping on a square that contains a mine—doing so ends the game.

8. The goal is to uncover all non-mine squares without triggering any bombs.

9. Use logic and patterns to recognize safe zones and deduce mine locations.

10. If you're stuck, review surrounding numbers and flagged squares to make safe decisions.

11. Complete the level by revealing every square that doesn't have a mine.

12. Play through campaign levels of increasing difficulty or customize your own board.

13. Use the in-game tutorial for additional help and strategy tips.
