The Minesweeper game is a legendary single-player logic puzzle. The goal is to clear a rectangular grid containing hidden mines or bombs. You must do this without detonating any of them, using clues from numbers on revealed squares.
To play Minesweeper, you left-click a square to reveal it. If it is a mine, you lose. If it is a number, that number tells you exactly how many mines are in the eight squares surrounding it. If it is blank, it means there are no adjacent mines, and the game will auto-clear all adjacent blank squares. You use the numbers to deduce where the mines are, and you right-click to ‘flag’ a square you believe contains a mine.
Learn to recognize basic patterns. A ‘1’ on a corner means the one diagonal square is a mine. A ‘1-2-1’ pattern against a wall means there are three mines in a row. Use ‘chording’: if a square with a ‘2’ on it is already touching two flags, you can middle-click (or left+right click) on the ‘2’ to instantly reveal all other adjacent squares. This is the key to fast play.

This is the ultimate game of pure logic. The methodical deduction of Minesweeper is the polar opposite of the fast-paced, physics-based action of a game like Stupid Zombies.
It is about 99% logic and 1% luck. Most boards are solvable with pure deduction. However, you will occasionally be left with a 50/50 guess where two squares have an equal probability of being a mine.
Chording is an advanced technique. When a numbered square is already touching the correct number of flags, you can click that number (with middle-click) to automatically clear all other adjacent, un-flagged squares. It saves a lot of time.
