Daily Minesweeper
One new board every day, the same for everyone. Clear it, keep your streak going, and share your time with friends.
The daily board is Intermediate size: 16 by 16 squares with 40 mines. It starts with a patch already open, so everybody begins from exactly the same spot, and it can always be cleared by logic. Nobody's time depends on a lucky guess.
How the daily board works
- A new board at midnight. The board changes when the date changes where you are. Each one has a number, starting from #1 on 1 November 2026.
- Your first clear counts. If you hit a mine, press Restart and try the same board again. The first time you clear it is your result for the day.
- Keep a streak. Clear the board on consecutive days to build a streak. It shows when you win, along with how many daily boards you've cleared in total.
- Share your result. After you win, press Share result to copy a short line with the board number and your time, ready to paste into a message.
Tips for a good daily time
- Look at the open patch before you click. Every move you need first is somewhere along its edge.
- The timer starts with your first move, not when the page opens, so take a moment to read the numbers.
- Learn the common shapes. The 1-2-1 and 1-2-2-1 turn up on most boards, and the patterns page has practice puzzles for them.
- Chord when a number has all its flags. Clicking the number opens the rest of its neighbours in one go.
- If you feel stuck, you've missed something, because every daily board is solvable. Compare two numbers that share covered squares.
Want more than one board a day? Play No guess mode for as many solvable boards as you like, or the classic Intermediate board.

Questions people ask
When does the daily board change?
At midnight, your local time. Everyone playing on the same date gets the same board, wherever they are.
Is it the same board for everyone?
Yes. The board for each date is built from the date itself, so every player sees the same mines and the same starting patch. That makes times worth comparing.
Why are some squares already open?
So everyone starts from the same place. The open patch is where the first click would be, and the mines are laid around it.
Will I ever have to guess?
No. Every daily board is checked by the same solver that runs No guess mode, so it can be cleared by logic from the starting patch.
Can I try again if I hit a mine?
Yes. Press Restart to play the same board again. Your first clear of the day is the result that counts and goes into your streak.
Where is my streak saved?
In your browser, on this device. Clearing your browsing data resets it, and a different device or browser starts its own streak.
