First of all, let’s promote the Minesweeper F official communication group: 965752619. You can post with the little white bird, you can find a lot of fish to fight for, you can buy firecrackers, you can ravage the mangy snake, you can...

Closer to home, since Minesweeper F was re-launched on tap, and many newcomers have come in, I wanted to write a complete entry-level guide for players who are new to Minesweeper, and bring them into the abyss of deadly alternatives (bushi) ).

Let me give you my temporary ranking first, and let all the big guys in the minesweeper circle scold you lightly.

If you are a complete novice, click on this game, click on the lowest difficulty, click casually and see the colorful numbers, you may not know it anymore, so our first part is:

1. How to clear mines

Minesweeper, as the name suggests, is to sweep out all the mines. However, the minesweeper game does not necessarily require marking all the mines. You only need to open the grid without mines to win. The gameplay of not marking at all will be mentioned later. It's called NF.

So the question is, what do these numbers mean?

The number represents how many mines there are in the 8 grids around it. For example, 3 in the picture below means there are three mines in the grid inside the red box.

Through this, we can know that generally there must be mines in the grids at the corners.

Now we have learned how to detect mines simply. With time and experience, you will easily see where there are mines.

Regarding the methods of mine clearing, there are usually three methods of mine clearing F, two methods of clearing mines (FL) and one method of clearing without marking mines (NF).

1. Long press the marked FL

There is a shovel icon in the upper right corner of Minesweeper F:

When this icon indicates this state, click to open the grid, long press to mark the minefield, and long press to mark FL and NF in this state.

2. Click to mark FL

We can click on the shovel and we will find that it turns into a flag icon:

In this state, clicking is to mark the minefield, and long pressing is to open the grid. Clicking to mark FL is done in this state, which is also the way I am used to playing now (thanks to the screen recording of Xiaobainiao a long time ago to let me know This game can still be played like this).

When I first learned about this gameplay, I thought it was stupid. I only need to press and hold to open it. Isn’t it a waste of time? But Minesweeper F and some Minesweeper games have a feature: when there are a corresponding number of markers around a number, clicking on the number will automatically open other unmarked grids around it.

For example, the picture below:

From the previous strategy, we know that this corner is mine, so mark it.

Now, let's click on this 1 on the right.

With a snap, other grids were opened.

So click to mark FL, click on the grid mark, click on the number to open the grid to play the game.

3. Non-standard mine sweeping method (NF)

NF is very simple to understand, nothing is marked, just like one of my pictures above.

NF has a miraculous effect when the area is relatively small and there are relatively few mines. After mastering it, NF will be faster than the full standard in complex situations. It can be seen that the number one in the extraordinary rankings is the NF boss, but for the judgment of mines and awareness The requirements are relatively high.

But here, I must remind everyone that there is a very hateful but unavoidable situation that may occur: dead guessing.

Dead guessing means that when the solution cannot be derived through inference from other information, everyone can understand it by showing a picture.

Obviously, one of the two unmarked grids is a thunder, but it is completely impossible to determine which one has the thunder. This is a dead guess, or, in other words, a fatal choice.

Now that we have learned how to clear mines, you can try it out in Getting Started and Normal.

2. Two fixed formulas

For more rigorous formula tutorials, such as the two major formulas: 11 formula and 21 formula and their transformations, you can check out the tutorials on Minesweeper.com or the MineF tutorials uploaded in the group. Here are only two quick judgment formulas to help you in the early stages. Increase mine clearance speed. The pictures provided below are not very rigorous. Sets are useful in any situation, not just in the corners. It’s just that I scanned several games and couldn’t find any examples of perfect sets (sad).

1. 121 fixed formula

As long as 121 is connected on a line, the two 1 grids must have mines, and the 2 grid must be open.

2. 1221 formula

As long as 1221 are connected on a line, the two 2 grids must have mines, and the two 1 grids must be open.

3. Explanation of Mine Clearance Terminology

When you successfully clear a mine, you will see some messy terms and values ​​in the gray box below.

Next, let me explain to you what this is all about.

1.3BV

3BV, generally referred to as BV, refers to the minimum number of clicks required to open the grid on this plate by just clicking. This is a theoretical value to measure the difficulty of this game. Generally speaking, the greater the 3BV, the more difficult this game is.

2.3BV/S

It's called BVS. 3BV is explained above, so this 3BV/S is how many BVs you solve per second. In layman's terms, it's your work speed. The bigger this thing is, the faster you are and the longer you stay single (bushi).

3.CE

Your effective operand is how many of your clicks are useful.

4.CL

Your total number of clicks is how many times you clicked in total.

5.CES

Your number of valid operations per second.

6.3BV (total)

Total 3BV.

7.IOE

That is, 3BV divided by CL means how many clicks you can get to do a serious job.

8.THRP

That is, 3BV divided by CE, you can get a useful number of clicks to do a good job.

9.RQP

Time divided by 3BVS, because time is added, can better prove how fast you are than 3BVS and how long you have been single.

Okay, basically everything that needs to be said has been said. You have mastered Minesweeper and can go for the extraordinary (confirmed).

That’s it for the text. Here are some of my nonsense, such as why I like Minesweeper, my mental journey, etc. If you don’t want to read it, you can just leave it in the comment area or exit. I won’t be sad (wipe away tears).

4. Nonsense

"Why do you play this kind of game?" A friend once asked me.

Minesweeper, in the eyes of the public, may be just a broken game that comes with Windows. It is meaningless to play it blindly.

But in my heart, it has witnessed my growth.

In the summer of 2019, I downloaded Minesweeper F. I was a complete novice at that time, and it only took a minute or two to get started. But I think this is a good time-killing game. Just play a game and click One point, if it blows up, it’ll just start over again.

I was in the choir at the time, rehearsing with the bass part, and would play during breaks. Gradually, several people in the choir started playing together, including the girl I liked at the time. Minesweeper became a topic of conversation for both of us. one.

From one or two minutes of beginner level, to two or three minutes of normal level, to seven or eight minutes of difficult level, to ten minutes of master level, to the initial level of extraordinary that is so difficult that I can’t pass it. As the difficulty level is unlocked, my life has changed. Many things are also being unlocked. For example, I became a deputy minister, for example, I was in charge of a school activity, for example, I went out to host for the first time and earned two hundred yuan, etc.

The sophomore boy is very happy. The games on his mobile phone have been changed one after another, but Minesweeper F is still there. The boy wants to grow up, pass extraordinary levels once, and break his own record, and Minesweeper F just stays with the boy. Grow up to now.

In fact, there are many things that are more difficult than passing an extraordinary level or breaking a record, but such small things will always increase your confidence and give you the courage to challenge the extraordinary in life until you become your own extraordinary. So whenever I encounter something difficult, I will think about the me who was so happy and excited after clearing the extraordinary level. What else can't that happy young man do?

As long as you work hard and persevere, your name will definitely appear at the top of the rankings. It will definitely appear at the top of the rankings every time you want it. It will definitely happen.

Because you are your own transcendence.
