About Explainable Minesweeper
Explainable Minesweeper keeps the classic rules but removes the part most players hate. In ordinary Minesweeper you sometimes reach a spot where two cells are equally likely to hide a mine and you simply have to gamble. These boards are built so that never happens: there is always a cell you can prove is safe. When you are stuck, the Hint button does more than point at a square; it walks you through why that cell must be safe or must be a mine, which makes it a good way to learn the deductions experienced players use. Boards come in nine sizes from 5×5 up to 13×13, each with 200 puzzles, so you can start small and work up to larger grids at your own pace.
