This is really hard. Anyone got any tips?

Try flagging the mine rather than revealing it! (Right click.)

Holy shit. There's a way to win. Awesome.

Since 1993, that's what I've been missing from my mine sweeper game. All these years I couldn't understand why I could never finish the game. Hahaha! :)

Cool!

There are actually some expert players who intentionally play without the flags as an extra challenge. They have to remember (or re-deduce) where the mines are. The game is considered won whenever the number of unexposed squares, whether explicitly flagged or not, or equal to the total number of mines.

That's what I assumed. But even when I got to the point of no more non-cursed squares, I didn't get the "Cool" glasses. Cry.

Usually this means that you have one more false positive hiding somewhere!
