Anyone know some tricks to Minesweeper?

Answer 1

I usually start with the corners. That can uncover a lot of the surrounding areas. Look to the numbers for clues on how many mines are in any area.

Example:
1@1
111

You can be sure that @ is a mine.

If they look like this:


11
@2
@31
2@1

Then the first ones on the second and third rows, and the second one on the third row are mines.

It takes practice, but it can be won.

Tip: Create a custom board with 10 X 10, with 10 mines. Or 20 X 20 with 10 mines. (100 X 100 with 10 mines is TOO easy...)

Answer 3

Reveal Mines
With your cursor inside the minesweeper window type "XYZZY" then press Shift-Enter and Enter. A white dot should appear in the upper-left corner of the screen. If it turns black, your cursor is resting on a mine.

Note: This trick works best if your Windows background is black. Also note that code will not work in Windows 95 or Windows NT.

Answer 4

yeah, just hold down shift the whole time you are playing, because when you click on a box that is not been turned over or flagged, it highlights all the boxes touching it, but if there is lets say a 2 and 4 untouched blocks around it, and you flag 2 of the 4 blocks and then click on the 2 it will automatically flip the unflagged blocks. this really helps out and makes it go faster, also seems to prevent as many mistakes. hope this helps.
