If you've been reading this message for more than a second or two, then this WebAssembly puzzle doesn't seem to be working in your web browser. Sorry!
Most modern browsers should support WASM. I've had reports of success from:
More information
If this puzzle isn't working in one of those browsers (or a later version), check to see whether you have any local configuration that might have turned off WebAssembly completely, or some kind of blocking software that might have prevented the WASM code from being downloaded in the first place.
(For example, in Firefox, it's possible to turn off WASM completely
by setting javascript.options.wasm to false
in the about:config interface. If you've done that, or
something analogous in another browser, this puzzle won't run.)
In other browsers, the problem might be that WebAssembly isn't supported at all (for example, Internet Explorer 11), or that a browser update is needed.
If you think that your browser should support WebAssembly, but this puzzle still isn't running, then please report the problem, including as much diagnostic information as you can find.
In particular, try opening your browser's Javascript error console and then reloading this page, and tell me if it reports any error messages.
Also, if your browser has a network diagnostic tab, try the same
experiment, to make sure it is successfully loading both of the
auxiliary files mines.js and
mines.wasm.
Try to expose every square in the grid that is not one of the hidden mines, without opening any square that is a mine.
Click in a square to open it. Every opened square is marked with the number of mines in the surrounding 8 squares, if there are any; if not, all the surrounding squares are automatically opened.
Right-click in a square to mark it with a flag if you think it is a mine. If a numbered square has exactly the right number of flags around it, you can click in it to open all the squares around it that are not flagged.
The first square you open is guaranteed to be safe, and (by default) you are guaranteed to be able to solve the whole grid by deduction rather than guesswork. (Deductions may require you to think about the total number of mines.)
