Minesweepdle
A daily Minesweeper puzzle where everyone gets the same board and only one attempt to clear it, with streaks and a shareable result like Wordle.
Minesweepdle takes the classic Minesweeper grid and turns it into a one-shot daily challenge. Instead of clicking around a fresh random board as many times as you want, every player gets the same mine layout each day and one attempt to clear it. Slip up and hit a mine, and that day's puzzle is over.
What is Minesweepdle?
Minesweepdle is built on standard Minesweeper rules. You left-click a cell to reveal it, right-click to flag a cell you believe hides a mine, and use the numbers on revealed cells to work out where the remaining mines are. Double-clicking a revealed number chords it, automatically opening its unflagged neighbors once you have flagged the matching number of adjacent mines. On mobile, a flag toggle button switches your taps between revealing and flagging. The goal is the same as always: clear every safe cell without detonating a mine.
What separates Minesweepdle from the many free-play Minesweeper sites out there, like 247minesweeper.com, is the daily format layered on top of those familiar rules. A new board drops every day at midnight ET, everyone who visits that day is solving the exact same layout, and each player gets one attempt at it. That single-attempt, shared-board structure is what puts Minesweepdle in the same family as Wordle and other -dle games, even though the underlying puzzle itself, sweeping mines, has been around for decades.
The site does not display a creator credit, studio name, or launch date on its page, so who built Minesweepdle and when it first went online are not publicly documented as far as this listing could confirm. What the page does make clear is how it tracks your record: it keeps a running tally of games played, wins, win percentage, current streak, and best streak, and your streak resets if you skip a day. A copy result feature lets you share your outcome for the day in a compact, Wordle-style format without spoiling the board for others, and an archive button opens previous puzzles.
The overall feel is quieter and more deliberate than a typical daily word game. Because you only get one pass at the board, Minesweepdle rewards the same careful, methodical reasoning that makes Minesweeper satisfying in the first place, just with the added tension of knowing there is no retry if you misjudge a cell.
How to play Minesweepdle
- Open Minesweepdle at minesweepdle.com.
- Left-click any cell to reveal it and see how many mines touch that cell.
- Right-click cells you suspect hide a mine to flag them and keep track of your reasoning. On mobile, use the flag toggle button to switch between revealing and flagging.
- Use the revealed numbers to logically deduce which neighboring cells are safe to open.
- Double-click a revealed number once you have flagged all of its adjacent mines to chord and auto-reveal the remaining safe neighbors.
- Keep revealing and flagging until the whole board is cleared, since you only get this one attempt at today's puzzle.
Tips and strategy
- Start in corners and open areas where a revealed zero will cascade and clear several cells at once, giving you more information before you have to guess anywhere.
- Flag a cell only once you are confident it is a mine. An incorrect flag can throw off your chording later and lead you to open a mine by mistake.
- Use chording (double-clicking a satisfied number) instead of clicking each neighboring cell one at a time. It is faster and reduces the chance of a misclick.
- When two numbers overlap on the same set of unrevealed cells, compare them directly. The difference in their mine counts often reveals which specific cell is safe.
- If you are ever forced into a true 50/50 guess, note that spot in your head. In a one-attempt daily format, it is often the single point where the puzzle can be lost.
- Play through a couple of practice rounds on any ordinary Minesweeper site first if you are rusty, then bring that sharper reading of numbers to the one daily attempt Minesweepdle gives you.

Minesweepdle FAQ
Is Minesweepdle free to play?
Yes. There is no paywall to play the daily puzzle.
How do you play Minesweepdle?
It uses standard Minesweeper rules: left-click to reveal a cell, right-click to flag a suspected mine, and use the numbers on revealed cells to figure out where the remaining mines are. The difference from ordinary Minesweeper is that you only get one attempt at that day's shared board.
When does Minesweepdle reset, and is there an archive?
A new puzzle goes live daily at midnight ET, and the site has a previous puzzles section for replaying earlier boards, though how far back that archive goes was not independently confirmed.
Is Minesweepdle like Wordle?
It borrows Wordle's daily, one-attempt, shared-puzzle structure along with streak tracking and a shareable result, but the puzzle itself is a full Minesweeper board rather than a word guess.
Who made Minesweepdle?
The site does not list a creator, studio, or copyright credit, so that information is not publicly available from the page itself.
