Question 1

Is it really solvable without guessing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every board is checked by our solver before it's shown, starting from the marked square. If a layout needs a guess, we throw it away and make another.

Question 2

Why is there a starred square?

Accepted Answer

It's the safe start. Classic versions place the mines after your first click, which means everyone gets a different board. Suvi fixes the board for the day, so the start has to be marked.

Question 3

Is there a timer and a leaderboard?

Accepted Answer

There's a timer and your own best times. Friend leagues are coming with accounts.

Question 4

What happens if I hit a mine?

Accepted Answer

Once per board you can take a second chance, free while Suvi is new, which puts that mine back under a flag. Otherwise the board is revealed and you can try the same board again.

Question 5

Does it work on a phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Easy and medium boards fit a phone screen; the hard board scrolls. Flag mode means you never have to press and hold if you don't want to.
