Patterns win games
Most of the board resolves through a handful of shapes: the 1-1, the 1-2, and the mighty 1-2-2-1. Learn them once, see them forever.
After every cascade, scan the whole border of numbers before your next click — the safest clue is rarely where your eyes landed first.

The classic, rebuilt for the web
Minesweeper is the beloved logic puzzle where you clear a grid without detonating hidden mines. Every number is a clue; read them, flag the danger, and open every safe square as fast as you can.
Your first click is always safe — mines are placed after you open your first square, so no game can end on move one.
