The numbers associate with the amount of mines that square is touching. To play successfully you need to look at all the numbers on an area of the map and us logic to determine which squares are mines and which are clear. By understanding where even a single mine or clear square is you can open up more breams and logically find more mines. Answer from rock-my-lobster on reddit.com

You are equally likely to toss ten heads in a row as you are to throw the pattern two heads, one tails, one heads, three tails, one heads, one tails, one heads. You're more likely to throw a total of five heads and five tails than ten heads, but not any particular pattern of heads and tails. In Minesweeper, we're concerned with arrangements of mines, which are like patterns of coin tosses.)

In general, when looking at these situations, you want to click on the squares that are the least likely to contain mines. This will invariably give you more information about your current situation.

Here's an example of a game that can't be beaten without strict testing, which I will use to demonstrate what I mean.

There are two mines remaining. I apologize, but the 3 underneath the square labeled 2 actually has two adjacent flags, and needs one more flag; one of them was cut off in the screenshot.

Because there is a 1 next to 1 and 2, I know that one of these must be a mine. If 1 is a mine, then 2 is not, which means one of 4, 5, 6 is a mine, and 3 is not. This gives three cases when 1 is a mine.

If 1 is not a mine, then 2 is a mine. If 2 is a mine, then none of 4, 5, 6 is a mine, which means 3 must be a mine. This has only one case.

Therefore, the number of cases where 1 is a mine is 3/4; the number of cases where it is not is 1/4. We can proceed assuming that 1 is a mine - and as it happens to turn out, it is.


Here's another example of a possible setup. The method I use in these cases effectively can be extended across the entire board (which makes it a bit more accurate), but I only execute it a few levels in my head. Here's how my thought process works:

We can see that if 5 is a mine, then 4 can't be, which means 3 is. At this point, either 1 or 2 could be a mine, which gives two cases.

If 5 isn't a mine, then 4 must be a mine, which means 3 isn't, which means both 1 and 2 are - which gives one case.

Therefore, the situation in which 5 is a mine covers 2/3 of the cases, and the situations in which 5 isn't covers 1/3. Therefore, we proceed on the assumption that 5 is a mine.

Of course, there are more than three cases for the entire grid - this is only a rough estimate. I could go into further detail about what the squares above 1 and 2 could be, as well as the surrounding squares, but I won't here. It all depends on how long you want to take and how accurate you want to be.

A board with a 3BV of 50 can be solved in 50 left clicks for an IOE of 1.00. However, it is possible to solve a board in fewer clicks than 3BV with efficient chording. You can use a version such as Minesweeper Arbiter that saves IOE records, and practice playing slowly for efficiency.
