Tile Sweep Deduction

Reading the Numbers

Every tile you uncover displays a digit. That digit is not decoration; it counts how many hidden elements sit in the eight surrounding tiles. Cross-referencing these numbers across the grid lets you mark safe zones and flag dangerous spots. The game never asks you to guess. Each new tile you reveal refines the picture, and a wrong click usually means you ignored a clue that was already on the board.

Fresh Boards, Adjustable Pressure

No two sessions start with the same arrangement. Hidden elements are placed randomly, so memorizing a layout won't help. You can adjust both the grid size and the density of hidden items. A small, sparse board is a gentle way to learn how the numbers relate to each other. Larger, denser grids demand longer chains of reasoning and more careful bookkeeping. The difficulty presets exist to change those two variables, not to alter the core rule.

Interface Without Distraction

The interface keeps tile states readable at a glance. Numbers use a legible font, and color coding plus subtle visual cues help you distinguish revealed, flagged, and untouched tiles. Controls respond to both mouse clicks and touch input, so the same puzzle works on a desktop or a phone. Nothing on screen competes with the grid itself.

How Experienced Players Work

Systematic play beats speed. Start with tiles that show low numbers, since a 1 or 2 next to already-revealed tiles narrows the possibilities quickly. Mark suspected hidden elements instead of clicking them. Work outward from confirmed safe zones. Rushing produces mistakes, and mistakes cost information. Over time, you internalize common number patterns and spend less time recalculating the same shapes.
