Test notes

  • A fixed board makes the first launch more predictable and easier to learn.
  • Flag mode is separated so phone players avoid accidental reveals.
  • The compact grid fits above the fold better than a full desktop board.

Better-score tips

  • Start from low-number areas and expand safe zones.
  • Flag obvious mines before opening nearby unknown tiles.
  • Use empty reveals to create bigger safe regions.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Guessing before reading nearby numbers.
  • Leaving flag mode on by accident.
  • Opening around a number before matching its mine count.
