About Better Minesweeper
Better Minesweeper updates the classic puzzle with a focus on quality‑of‑life upgrades and deep customization. Over thirty options let players modify reveal behavior, flag handling, recursive chording, and first‑click safety, allowing the board to react in ways that suit individual preferences.
The title also adds extensive statistics, a real‑time probability calculator, shareable replay links, and several alternative gamemodes. These features give both speed‑run enthusiasts and casual solvers concrete data and tools while keeping the core Minesweeper logic intact.
01 / THE GUIDE
Customization Options
The game lists more than thirty settings that affect how the board reacts to input, including reveal‑on‑press, paint‑flags, recursive chording, and first‑click safety. Each option can be toggled to match a player’s desired interaction style.
Visual customization is also supported: players may import custom skins and recolor the numbered tiles using a built‑in colour picker, letting the board’s appearance align with personal taste.
- Try different flag‑painting methods to see which visual cue feels clearest during fast play.
- Adjust the colour of numbers if the default palette makes it hard to distinguish low values.

Statistics Tracking
Better Minesweeper records over forty statistical categories, and its custom stats system tracks more than one hundred variables. This provides a detailed picture of each session’s performance.
A pool of 400+ all‑time stats is also maintained, giving players a long‑term view of their progress.
- Review the custom stats after each game to spot recurring patterns in click efficiency.
- Review your all‑time stats to gauge your long-term progress.

Probability Tools
A real‑time probability calculator runs alongside the board, showing probability information in real time as the game progresses. This assists logical deduction without guessing.
The No‑Guess mode preserves only scenarios that are logically solvable, ensuring that every move can be justified by the probability data shown.
- Use the calculator to double‑check risky moves before committing.
- Practice in No‑Guess mode to strengthen pure logical solving skills.

Replay System
Replays can be shared via a link that opens directly in a browser. This makes sharing a run as simple as copying a URL.
The in‑browser player removes the need for external software, allowing friends or the community to watch and analyse the gameplay instantly.
- Save replays of high‑score runs for later self‑review.
- Share interesting puzzles on forums to invite discussion and alternative solutions.

Gamemodes
Beyond classic play, the title offers Custom 3BV, Aim Trainer, and Worse Minesweeper modes. Each mode offers a distinct alternative way to play beyond the classic rules.
Selecting a mode lets players focus on efficiency, precision, or a deliberately tougher experience.
- Try Aim Trainer to improve click precision before tackling timed runs.
- Use Custom 3BV when you want to concentrate on move efficiency.
