I prefer the version by Magnus Hovland Hoff [1], which makes the guessing explicit. There is a "Request Help" button that will let you reveal any square you want - but only if there is no other way to progress without guessing (otherwise you lose). This turns Minesweeper into a neat little puzzle game.
