About Small Screen Minesweeper
Small Screen Minesweeper takes the classic mine-clearing puzzle and rebuilds it for the modern browser, with a 16x16 grid, 40 hidden mines and absolutely nothing standing between you and your first click.
Cell size is clamped against both width and height so short screens never crop the board. Gameplay is simple to state and hard to master: reveal a square, read the number it shows, and use that count of adjacent mines to prove where the danger is and where it is not.
Use the left mouse button to open squares and the right button to mark suspected mines. Touch users get a dedicated mode button instead of an awkward long press, which keeps flagging fast under time pressure.
Your very first click is always safe. The mine layout is generated after you dig, and the algorithm keeps your opening square and its immediate neighbours clear, so no session ever ends before it has properly begun. Under the hood it is plain modern web technology: React for state, Tailwind for the neon styling, and oscillator-based Web Audio for the ticks, flag clicks, win chime and explosion. There is no plugin, no installer and no account.
Reset as often as you like — every restart randomises a completely new layout, so no two boards are ever quite the same. Whether you are here for a quick distraction or a serious attempt at a personal best, the board is ready the moment the page finishes loading, and it costs nothing to try again.
