Uncover tiles by clicking on them - if there are
one or more mines in the adjacent squares then the total number of mines is shown in the
square. Using these numbers, together with your skill, judgement and a sprinkling of luck,
you should be able to determine the locations of all forty mines.
Mark a tile hiding a mine by dropping a flag on it
(click the tile while holding the [Ctrl] key). You only have one flag per mine so
be sure!
You can remove a flag or place a question mark on
a tile (if you're not sure enough to drop a flag) by repeatedly clicking on it while
holding the [Ctrl] key.
The game is over when you either set off a mine,
or all tiles have either been flagged or uncovered (i.e. you have found all the mines)
The number of mines remaining is shown in the
status bar of your browser, together with the time you have taken so far.
