No, the numbers tell you how many mines are near it, you left click where you think the mine is, which makes a red flag. It tells you how many mines there are. Yeah.

And, yeah, there is this technique, where, in one click, if you click on a 'secret' place, you win the whole game in 1 second. My ex-bf was telling me about it. He did the expert in 1 second.

Apparently I don't know how to play. I didn't know you could win in one click. Some one please tell me how to play!

You start by clicking on a grey square in the box.
If the number is a 1, then there is only 1 mine in the 8 surrounding boxes, leaving you free to click the other 7. but to find that out, you need to click a one somewhere else and see what that number is. If you find a square which you believe to be a mine, Right click it, and it should turn into a red flag. Leave this till the end and till you have found all the mines and clicked all the safe squares

And there is a cheat, but won't say it because of people cheating on their times

Easy 7 seconds

Intermediate 61

Hard 337

I really don't care lol.

My best score in solitaire is -31, vegas style

Don't see how it would help your time though.

How do you start the game? Do you just guess a few sqaures to start if off? I always click the four corners, then maybe a few in the middle first, then I start to look at the numbers to actually play.

Yeah, I usually keep clicking til I get a rather large set, then, I start. I'm kinda rusty. Though, the other day, I went from a 70 (seconds) to like...54...I was SO happy. I gotta start getting back into it so I can beat my sister-in-law's 43 score. She beat my best score by 2!! [on intermediate]

I still hold the record though, in the house, of beating beginners in 5 seconds!!
