Tips & Best Practices

💡
Ensure you place at least one mine on the board before generating a link, otherwise the game will start pre-completed.
💡
Create geometric patterns, letter shapes, or custom drawings with your mine placement for fun visual reveals.
💡
Be mindful of mine density; a density above 30% becomes extremely difficult and requires blind guessing.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How does the Custom Challenge creator work?

You design a minefield layout by clicking cells in the editor grid. When you click generate, the coordinates of all your placed mines are serialized, encrypted locally in your browser using a secure XOR cipher, and appended as a parameter in the URL. Anyone loading that URL will play your exact board.

Q Is there a limit to how many mines I can place?

You can place as many mines as there are cells in your grid. However, we recommend keeping the mine count under 30% of the total cells to keep the game playable and fun without excessive guessing.

Q Are my custom puzzles stored on a database?

No. The entire encryption and link generation runs client-side. No board layouts or custom games are sent to our servers, ensuring 100% privacy and instant link loading.

Q How do I share my custom Minesweeper challenge?

Once you click "Generate Challenge Link", copy the URL from the card. You can send it directly, or click the quick-share buttons to post it to WhatsApp, Facebook, or Twitter.
