Congrats on being the 7th most popular Minesweeper on-site, even 5+ years on! Wish there was a reset button so I could no-damage easier.
This seems like I need to guess? Should that happen?

No and sometimes. You know that the middle dark 3 above you has a 2 and the light 4 means that 2 can only be North or Northwest from the 3. The middle dark 4 above the light 4 only needs a 1 and it can't be West of the light 4 because the dark 3's last 1 is either West or East from it. So West of the light 4 is empty. This means that the last 1 for the middle dark 4 is West from it so North and Northwest from the middle dark 3 above the middle dark 4 is also empty. Which means that the last 1 for the middle dark 5 is Northwest from it. This means that there is a 1 below the left of the 2 light 3's. Depending on the numbers revealed you might now have to chance it!

Yeah, technically speaking, there should never be a situation where you have to guess. That was definitely a tricky one to work out though.
Wow, I'm surprised about this game still being on the list of popular Minesweeper games (but I have to say, I do still find it fun myself!) Thank you for playing and commenting! 🙂
Hey, sorry if I wasn't clear, there's been no update for multiple years. 😄 I was just explaining how the game does check if the board is solvable without guessing randomly, but it can still be hard to follow the logic you'd have to use to work it out. (But that's why we put multiple lives, so it's okay to guess or try something out!)
