Sweep
Open every square that is not a mine, as quickly as you can.
- Tap a covered square to open it.The number on it counts the mines in the eight squares around it. A blank one touches none.
- Put a flag on any square you have worked out is a mine.A flag is a note to yourself. It costs nothing, scores nothing, and stops you opening that square by accident.
- Carry on playing if you do open a mine.It does not end your round. It costs you 20 seconds, the square stays revealed, and the board can still be finished.
Scored on time.

- Touching number:
- the digit on an open square, counting the mines in the eight squares around it. A blank square touches none
- Flag:
- a marker you put on a square you think is a mine, so you do not open it by accident. Just a note to yourself: it costs nothing and scores nothing
- Detonation:
