Goal: dig every square that is not a mine. Dig a mine and it is game over. Your first dig is always safe.
Numbers: a number says how many mines touch that square, counting all 8 squares around it, diagonals too. A blank square has no mines around it and opens its neighbours automatically.
Flags: right-click a square you think is a mine to flag it, and right-click again to remove it. On a touch screen press and hold, or turn on Flag mode (key F) and tap. The counter shows mines minus flags.
Chording: click a number that already has that many flags around it to dig all its other neighbours at once (middle-click works too). A wrong flag means you dig a mine!
Stars: campaign levels give 1 to 3 stars for how fast you clear the field. Training levels have a Hint button (key H) that points out a certain move.
Keys: R new board, F flag mode, H hint, M sound.
