Minesweeper — History and Strategy

Origins of Minesweeper

Minesweeper was created by Robert Donner and Curt Johnson and included in Microsoft Windows 3.1 in 1992. Originally designed to teach mouse skills like left-clicking, right-clicking, and dragging, it became one of the most played computer games in history.

The math behind it

Minesweeper is NP-complete — solving an arbitrary board is as hard as the hardest problems in computer science. Despite this, skilled players use logical deduction, probability analysis, and pattern recognition to clear boards efficiently.

Key strategies

The most important technique is counting: compare a number with its surrounding hidden cells and flagged mines. The 1-1 pattern, 1-2 pattern, and corner analysis are fundamental. When logic alone isn't enough, probability guides the best guess.
