Pick a spot to start. Minesweeper will always give you clearance on your first move. 2. For every "numbered" cell, determine how many surrounding cells are hidden and how many known cells are defused mines. Then... a) If the value of a cell = hidden cells minus defused mines, defuse all hidden surrounding cells b) If the value of the cell = # of defused mines, toggle all hidden surrounding cells Keep repeating step 2 until you have to make another guess (which is highly unlikely for easier boards). Guess and continue with repeating step 2 until all mines are defused.
