How to play

Goal

Uncover every safe tile, collecting letters to make words.

What do the letters and numbers mean?
Connect adjacent revealed letters, including diagonals. Small numbers count mines in all eight neighboring spaces.
How do I mark a mine?
Right-click, long-press, press F, or use touch long-press. Remove a flag before an ordinary dig.
How do words score?
Select a path of adjacent unused board letters, including diagonals. Four or more letters make a word, with more points for longer words. A word can be used once per round.
How do I earn extra hearts?
Accepted words earn 1 heart for 4–5 letters, 2 for 6–7, or 3 for 8+. Mines cost one heart. Hearts can rise above the starting three.
When does the round end?
Open all 48 safe tiles, spell remaining words, then choose Finish. Zero hearts ends an incomplete round.
