Minesweeper Degrades My Existence - July 21st 2011, 04:53 AM

I've lost my 200th game of Minesweeper just the other day. I very rarely win, and it's surprising because I know the concept of Minesweeper and how to play, but I always end up losing. Google doesn't really help much because it tells me shit I already know. Minesweeper fans, what are helpful tips that you know? I'm eager to get better at Minesweeper.

I feel your pain. I think it's just luck or is there more to it?

A lot of it's luck. It's almost impossible to win the hardest one (w/ 99 mines). I've only won that one once.

Fear not, you are looking at an Expert winner here, with a record of 73 seconds. It's not luck as most people say (a little bit in expert) but I win pretty much every game in intermediate and beginner.

What difficulty do you usually play?

Well, it's obviously not JUST luck, but that is a part of it (I mean, if you click on a mine to start out with, you're pretty much screwed).

Of course I play expert. If you know the concept of Minesweeper, you can pretty much jump to expert. What do you have in store for me?

Minesweeper is almost zero luck. There is some involved in some cases (your first couple of moves, for example), but most of the time it is based on plain old logic. You just need to figure out which tiles have to be safe based on their surroundings and only click them. The more tiles you click, the more spaces it narrows down. I don't think there is any trick to it, just thinking ti through a bit.
