Step 3: Now Dubble Click...

This is the secret to winning mine sweeper...you have to click with both mouse buttons, on any of the exposed numbers. What this does is show where all of the possible mines for that number would be. if a number 1 for example has a mine next to it and there is an un clicked square next to it, you can click on the 1 with both mouse buttons and any squares contradicting it will disappear...I know that it wasn't a very good explanation, but try it and see what I mean. The read circle in the picture is the square showing where a mine can go... the 1 (circled in green) is the square that i was clicking on with both of my mouse buttons.

Step 4: Alternate Meathod!

for this next meathod all you have to do is make the size of the playing board bigger using coustom. the downside, you may ask, you dont get on the high scores list.

Step 5: Cheating

alright, if you really do want to cheat minesweeper, then type in this before you start playing : xyzzy (now while holding shift), what this des is make the very upermost pixel of the screen turn black while you are over a mine. you have to look very closely to see it but it is there.
