Fair Mines Minesweeper Online
Minesweeper online with no unfair guesses: if logic can solve the board, luck never has to.
How to play
Fair Mines is a minesweeper online game that never punishes you for bad luck. Open cells, read the numbers, and flag every mine to clear the board. The rules are the ones you know: a number tells you how many mines touch that cell.
The difference is that the mines are not placed when the game starts. Every time you open a cell, the game checks what the numbers on screen still allow. If there is a cell that logic proves is safe and you open a different cell that could hold a mine, it will be a mine. If no cell can be proven safe, a guess next to the numbers will come up empty unless that cell is certainly a mine. Your first tap is never a mine.
There are four sizes, from Easy (8×8, 8 mines) to Brutal (10×10, 50 mines). Hint tells you whether a safe cell exists. After a loss, the board shows which cells were safe, which were mines and which could have gone either way, and Undo lets you step back and try again.
Credits
Fair Mines is a modified version of the open-source Kaboom by Paweł Marczewski, released under the MIT License. It uses the MiniSat solver (MIT License). For physoe we redrew the board, added a dig/flag switch for phones, a hint button and Chinese text. The original copyright and license notices are included with the game files.
Controls
Desktop
Click a cell to open it and right-click to flag it, or switch the mode button to Flag. Click a number to open its neighbours once its flags are placed.

Tap a cell to open it. Long-press, or switch the mode button to Flag, to place a flag. Tap a number to open the cells around it.
Tips
- 1Start each move by asking whether any cell is certainly safe. If one exists, find it before you guess.
- 2Compare two numbers that share neighbours. The difference often tells you exactly where the mines are.
- 3When Hint says no cell is safe for sure, guess next to the numbers rather than in the middle of the unknown area.
- 4Turn on safe mode in Options if you keep opening cells by accident.
