Words are buried under the face-down tiles — one per row — and some tiles are mined. Reveal every safe tile to win. Pick your field in the menu: 5×5 (5 words, 5 mines), 5×6 (6 words, 7 mines) or 6×6 (six 6-letter words, 9 mines).
- ▓ Flip a tile — a safe tile reveals its letter plus a sensor count: how many of the 8 tiles around it are mined. RED means at least one of those mines is still hidden; the number turns gray once every mine it counts is visible (☢ or 💣).
- ☢ Flip a mine and it detonates: −1 life. You have 3.
- A Solve a row instead — press its [▶] button, type the missing letters, ENTER. The right word reveals the whole row and safely defuses any mines in it — defused tiles stay green with a 💣 badge, and still count in neighboring sensors (no more than 2 mines ever share a row).
Sensor counts never change — they include mines already defused 💣 or blown ☢. Gray sensor = all its mines accounted for; red = danger still hiding. Suspect a tile? Right-click (or long-press on touch screens) to flag it so you can't flip it by accident. Number keys select a row.
Lose all 3 lives and the field is lost.
