What is Explainable Minesweeper?

Explainable Minesweeper is a minesweeper you can always solve with logic. No guessing, ever.

Hedgehogs are sleeping hidden in the field. Read the numbers, find every hedgehog, and clear the field with Pip the meerkat.

★ Stuck? Tap Hint

Pip shows you which cell is safe and explains WHY, pointing at the numbers that prove it. Even tricky "compare two numbers" deductions are shown with a hatched shared area, so you actually learn the technique.

★ Every board is solvable by logic

16 board sizes from 5×5 to 20×20, with 200 boards each: 3,200 boards in total.

★ Today's Field

A new board every day, with a different size for each day of the week. Your progress is saved, so you can come back and finish it later.

★ Watch your camp grow

Clear boards on more days and Pip's camp grows: tent, lookout tower, garden, dock and more.

• 3 hearts per board, plus a revive when you run out
• 8 field themes to unlock
