Plan your next Better Minesweeper session
Our independent guide shows how to make the most of Better Minesweeper’s configurable settings, data tracking, and auxiliary tools. By comparing each feature against your own play patterns, you can build a puzzle routine that matches your goals without relying on undocumented shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Compare Reveal Behaviors
Play two short sessions, one with reveal‑on‑press enabled and one without. Record how quickly you can uncover safe tiles in each case, then choose the setting that yields the smoother flow for your hand.
- Try different flag‑painting methods to see which visual cue feels clearest during fast play.
- Adjust the colour of numbers if the default palette makes it hard to distinguish low values.
02 / THE GUIDE
Track Statistical Trends
After ten games, examine the custom stats focusing on average clicks per safe tile. Identify any outliers and experiment with different flag‑painting methods to see if the average improves.
- Review the custom stats after each game to spot recurring patterns in click efficiency.
- Review your all‑time stats to gauge your long-term progress.
03 / THE GUIDE
Observe Probability Feedback
Run a series of puzzles with the probability calculator active. Note each decision where the displayed odds were below 20 % and compare success rates to moves made without the overlay.
- Use the calculator to double‑check risky moves before committing.
- Practice in No‑Guess mode to strengthen pure logical solving skills.
04 / THE GUIDE
Test Each Gamemode
Spend a few minutes in Custom 3BV, Aim Trainer, and Worse Minesweeper. Write down how board density and scoring differ, then select the mode that aligns with your current training focus.
- Save replays of high‑score runs for later self‑review.
- Share interesting puzzles on forums to invite discussion and alternative solutions.
05 / THE GUIDE
Share and Review a Replay
Create a replay of a high‑score run, share the link with a peer, and ask them to point out any inefficiencies using the in‑browser player. Use their feedback to refine your next attempt.
- Try Aim Trainer to improve click precision before tackling timed runs.
- Use Custom 3BV when you want to concentrate on move efficiency.
