Everything about minesweeper, in one place

Minesweeper is a logic puzzle hiding inside a grid: every revealed number tells you how many mines border that cell, and from those clues you deduce which squares are safe and which are deadly. Whether you have never cleared a board or you are chasing faster times on expert, these guides walk through the rules, the deduction patterns the fast players use, the game's history, and the vocabulary that makes it all click. Clear the board with logic, not luck — and remember, your first click is always safe.
