Yes, the original Minesweeper never allows you to lose on the first click. This version is an extension of that behavior: it will “cheat” in your favor anytime you are forced to guess (not just on the first move). > [...] you have to guess the first move and maybe it’ll be a mine. In this case, Windows Minesweeper quietly chooses a different arrangement of mines and pretends like you got lucky after all — but it doesn’t do that if you’re stuck at the end. > So what if we went further? Below is a version of Minesweeper where you will never be penalised when forced to guess. Any time there simply isn’t enough information to deduce a safe move, we’ll pull Windows’s trick and quietly rearrange the mines so you don’t get penalised.
