Minesweeper Patterns Guide

I think I need a career change. 😂 I'm actually playing enough minesweeper to want to get better, wtf.

It's great to see the patterns I've learned on my own after playing for years in this video. But this game is too fucking addictive lol. I will literally play it while doing like anything on the internet I need help

how bout 323 pattern?

yes , these will make me faster

Yea I just realize most of later part of the game is about pattern recognition.

Subbed just because of how smooth you voice is

Me: learned and I understood the pattern guide

Me actually playing: first move 💣 💀

See but this ain’t what I need I need to be able to solve those 50/50 ones when it can literally be either one 🤣

the only one of these that works is the 3 i always die on the other ones :(

Utube is a very usefull media
😃

I have always looked at corners and expand from there until it gets to where I have to guess or the corners carry me through

ah yes

Thank you very much!

I also enjoy starset :)

Even after the video, I'm still gonna guess

지뢰찾기에 빠져서 조금 해본 사람으로써 너무 찍기가 많아 힘들었음... 나중에는 찍기 장인이 되어야함

Just happy I was able to work most of em out before you explained it

These are only straight line patterns. On large boards, I regularly come across a corner pattern where a 1 is tucked inside the corner.
1 1 x
1 b ?
x ? ?
Where x can be any other number.

shout-out to 121s fr, best pattern by far

Works this also at K-Mines?

You forgot, in 121, block below 2 must be okay ✅️.

It's more fun to me not to know the patterns. For a game like this they are very obvious, but in multiplayer games with a meta it's less fun to win by looking up the meta/patterns than it is to figure it out for myself.

The most problem is how to deal with 50 50 1 bomb 1 none in the end of game😂

I wish I found this like 20 years ago

I learned some new patterns thanks to this, thanks! Didn't know a couple of these but thought I knew them all so I always just had to guess a couple times on a hard board lol

i don’t understand how some of them can be 100% true though

111
O1O
OOO
With this pattern you know the 3 bottom case are empty

The most common method I use is about difference
When 2 numbers touch on the sides, their difference is the same as the difference between mines in their "superspace"
"Superspace" being the 3 cells which other number doesn't touch (marked with capital A, B)
A??B
AabB
A??B
a-b = count(A) - count(B)

All of the patterns in this video can be explained like this

And this works actually for any touching cells, and in any grid shape (triangle, hexagonal)

I used this technique and hacked into Nasa. Thanks

You forgot the 8 pattern ;-)

As others pointed out, 1-1-1 and 1-1-1-1 are simply not patterns, as it must be certain that the squares to uncover must be between between non-bomb squares. That in practice, will almost never happen.

"This is a pattern but not really" lol. Useless crap. You learn these pattern in no time without cringy videos just by playing the game.

I found all these myself when i kept Playing for hours

what's your user in minesweeper online?

very nice and informational video! I've picked up most of these from just playing, but it was still nice having them clarified, and I learned some things too!

It’s 2 in the morning…








WHY AM I HERE?!

1 is always good. 1 is always friend.

I knew the 3 on a straight, the 1-2-1, and the 2-1 patterns thanks to Aliensrock. The rest I had to watch the video for.

You're in danger when you unlock number 8

respect for helping us

Hi, I already know these patterns but for those who don't It's helpful. Thanks 🙂

The only one that I wasn’t subconsciously aware of was the 1-1-1-1. But that’s mostly because I always play on a 99-99 field whit 2000 bombs.

i subconsciouly started to notice this patterns when playing, and i say subconsciously 'cause i notice with certain patterns my brain immediately goes "it's this cell"

I usually play minesweeper to kill time, when situation doesn't allow me to play other games. I got this video in my recommended some how and I have just realized I have learned 2/3 of these patterns on my own 😆

i got 4 to 8 is this good?

Actually there is a 2-1-2, the 1 is the mine
