Frequently asked questions

Can I lose on the very first tap?

No. The mines are placed after your first tap, and the square you tapped — plus its neighbours — is excluded. The opening move is always safe.

Do the three board sizes have different best times?

Yes, best times are tracked separately for 9×9, 16×16 and 16×30, and they are saved in your browser.

How do I place a flag on a phone?

Either long-press a square, or tap the Flag mode button first and then tap normally.
