Right-click (or long-press) a hex to plant a flag where you think a mine is.

Reveal every safe hex to win. Hit a mine and the run ends. Beat your best time.
Tips for a better run
Corners and edges are your friends: a hex on the border has fewer neighbors, so its numbers pin down mines faster.
Chord aggressively: once the flags around a number match its count, tap the number to open everything left.
When logic stalls, probe the region with the lowest mine density instead of guessing blind.
