The game is won once all blank or numbered squares have been uncovered by the player without hitting a mine any remaining mines not identified by flags are automatically flagged by the computer. To help the player avoid hitting a mine, the location of a suspected mine can be marked by flagging it with the right mouse button however, if a player is unsure if a square is safe or not, they can tag it with a question mark (?). Some squares are blank while others contain numbers (from 1 to 8), with each number being the number of mines adjacent to the uncovered square. Clicking on the game board will reveal what is hidden underneath the chosen square or squares (a large number of blank squares may be revealed in one go if they are adjacent to each other). The location of most mines is discovered through a logical process, but some require guessing, usually with a 50-50 chance of being correct. The goal of Minesweeper is to uncover all the squares on a grid that do not contain mines without being "blown up" by clicking on a square with a mine underneath.
