take a look at the highlighted tile.

the 2 means there are 2 mines next to it.

there are only 2 tiles next to it, so we know they are both mines.

right-click or press and hold to flag these mines.

look at these 2 highlighted tiles.

the first has 1 mine next to it.

the second also has 1 mine next to it.

however, the second spans the same tiles as the first, plus one extra.

the extra tile the second tile spans cannot be a mine. clear it!

the best we can do is guess now.

click any tile to continue.

sorry! I feel bad leading you into a trap like that!

but I think mistakes are a good way to learn.

have fun!
