      Also this isn’t a 50/50 chance to lose. You can win by placing all the flags without clearing all safe squares. So you’re guaranteed to win here by just flagging one, then the other if the first didn’t do the trick.

        I’m not sure that is a normal win condition. Most places describe a win as being when all safe fields are cleared, not if the flags are placed correctly or at all.

      I don’t think the existence of no guess mode (something that I don’t think existed the last time I played stock minesweeper) would prevent people from wanting to try a fun game in a similar vein.

        There’s a competitive scene for Minesweeper, and they don’t use the basic Windows version anymore. Too many issues like this.

          Oh I see. Does it look similar to the picture above? I’m used to the earlier version.
