How to play Mine Marsh

Mine Marsh is classic minesweeper on a 9×9 grid hiding 10 gators. Tap a tile to clear it. A number tells you how many gators border that tile; a blank means none are nearby, so neighbors open automatically. Flag the tiles you believe hide gators and clear every safe tile to win — wake a single gator and the round is over. Your first dig is always safe, so you can never lose on move one.

Tips & strategy

• Start in the middle — your safe first click often opens a large blank area to work from.
• Use the numbers logically: a "1" touching exactly one unopened tile means that tile is a gator. Flag it.
• When a number already touches its full count of flags, the rest of its neighbors are safe to open.
• Work the edges and corners — fewer neighbors there makes the deductions simpler.

Frequently asked questions

Can I lose on the first click?

No — the first dig is guaranteed safe. The board arranges the gators around your opening tap.

What do the numbers mean?

Each number is the count of gators in the up-to-eight tiles surrounding it — your clues for deducing where the danger is.
