The Final Boss Of Minesweeper Puzzles 

Can't wait until the full game comes out! If you still want to get that Minesweeper fix, check out my Hexcells and Tametsi videos.

Multiple and Liar would be a BRUTAL combination of rules

At 14:05, Tyler activated all the parts of the brain at once, summoning his inner speedrunner to finish the puzzle as quick as possible.

By the way, you should definitely turn on expert mode, which makes it so that if you make a guess (as in, a move that was not guaranteed to be correct), the puzzle will always reorient itself to make that move false.

The fact that "[R] Mines: x (Remaining: y)" appears to be a rule leads me to believe that it may be removed in some sets.

In all my years I never thought minesweeper could be enhanced. This is freaking awesome. I love hexcells and this just goes back to the roots.

From the dev: Long word short, L + M is not in the game because it’s mostly unplayable. Liar and Multiple has an anti-synergy: In multiple, your major strategy is to figure out the possible gray + black combination, but liar breaks this strategy. By the meantime, multiple weakens liar by extending possible number range. This makes the combo lacking of information, painful and unplayable to an average player. (Believe it or not, the design principle is to create a logic game with high variance and still playable to an average player. I mean, 5*5 puzzles are already fun and logical. There’s no shame in playing easy difficulty in a game like this.) And Triple and Connect has a strong synergy: You need to draw a connected shape while avoiding rows of three. The only possible way to do this is turning at every place. Our puzzle generation algorithm avoids “unnecessary information” (that’s why the game is logical and tensional) and in such a strong rule set, almost all clues are unnecessary. This makes the combo lacking of information (in another way), painful and unplayable to an average player again. The same problem happens in almost every left + left combos and right + right combos. (Maybe you have noticed, left column focused on mine placement restrictions, while right column focused on alternative clues. Two rules from same side may conflict with each other.) Thus, we decided to disallow these combos in the main game. P.S. Tyler shouldn’t name this video “The Final Boss”. It's just a demo.

I want to see a Sudoku variant, where numbers aren't allowed to be in the same row or column

I consider myself pretty good at minesweeper, but this man’s quick logic and adaptation skills are so fast it’s hard to not pause the video to think lol. Beast

At first I thought the thumbnail was made wrong but then I saw that it was actually made with the +1 or -1 rule. Brilliant 🤩

Tyler I want to express gratitude in the extra effort of organizing your videos in playlists. Most channels are so poor at it and it makes such a difference! Not so much with me bc I watch daily but if I wanna go back and rewatch some other minesweeper adjacent stuff, easy as pie.

watching your vids is always hilarious whiplash for me, because you have this polite family-friendly tone, and you're playing brain games in a somewhat analytical educational way, and all of a sudden I hear "holy FUCK" and have to take a second to recalibrate myself

Very much enjoy watching you walk through these minesweeping puzzles. You vocalize my exact thought process for each logic issue. "This all stems from this square not being a mine, which is impossible, so it must be a mine." That's the exact way I think when i sweep mines. Keep up the great content!

Hey Tyler serious question, did you study much math during university? I know you previously mentioned that you did programming (or was it computer science?) and hence I know you’ve done atleast some math, but the way you talk and explain your reasoning about certain things really reminds me of how my pure math friends and I speak. None the less I love the content!

I always look forward to my midnight puzzle games :)

These rules combine super cool together.

15:03 Tyler being a masochist

It would be great if there was a variant in the release that works like chess sudoku where each number accounts for the cells that could be reached as a knight (or/and other pieces) in chess. Idk if it would be an interesting variant but I'd love to see it nonetheless

I just randomly clicked on your video and now my mind is absolutely blown. Nice video, keep doing what you do.

Such a well designed set of rules that really synergize well, I hope the devs can make the rest of them just as good

Featured rulesets: [S] [+] [S] - Standard Minesweeper rules [E] - We stick together [T] - Tic-tac-no [M] - Some idiot put an extra mine in the grey squares! [Cc] - The minefield is colored like a chessboard [L] - The clues are one off of the actual amount of mines near them [+] - Two random rules put together

There's an app on Android called "Warped Mines: Minesweeper Game" which is Minesweeper in hyperbolic geometry. Idk if there is a version for PC.

The thumbnail of this video is just 🤯

Your logic to solving these is very interesting. It made me realize how puzzles like these would work, and really made me think. I like that. Great video!

Thanks!

3:50 in, Liar+Multiple sounds like hell to work out...

Thank you for showing me this gem, will come back to the video after finishing the puzzles myself

I would be stuck on those forever! you are so good at minesweeper! Can't wait for your next video

Have you looked at Delete? It's a minesweeper variant played on a 3d board where you can shift panels to make different connections.

the demo is over now but if you ever want a satisfying and very relaxing puzzle try #1055. i got it for my last nightmare puzzle but it was actually ridiculously easy. edit: you can input codes in the bottom left when you get into a puzzle

The click sound in this game is really good.

You're uploads are my reminder that it's 12 AM

I gotta say, its rather impressive that ypu are using proof by absurd in a simple game of minesweeper, (proof by absurd or the corresponding name of it being a logical proof mechanism used in math or computer science to prove weather a statement is truw or false by asumming that the statement its true and checking if its consecuenced lead to something absurd or impossible, demonstrated when he explained that if he chose a mine, it would make certain spaces mines due to the rules, then that ramification created an impossible situation {an island} thus proving that that place in fact, couldnt be a mine) 10/10 makes me wonder what was your background, in my country for example, that is a rare sight sience is not taught in highschool, only in higher education.

So far every single puzzle was logically solvable. Without the need to click at random. Do you think the game is made to give you one from a list of boards? Or maybe there's a good scrambler/'reverse-solver' engine under the hood?

Multiple and liar rules is a D E M O N, it would be fun to try it out

i just love the way you commentate i could listen to you solve forever 😁

Das some good logic magic man. I couldn’t keep up at all lol

Minesweeper D&D: Roll a d20 for mine check.

The thumbnail checks out except 1 number: The 5 in the bottom row. The rest would fit the liar theme.

Did you know that you can click on numbers to automatically flag and open cells in a lot of circumstances? It's called chording, and is a staple of many minesweeper games!

The logic is so diifficult but it makes so much more satisfying when solved

As always, my mind blanked so much watching this but the video is so fascinating. Tyler the supreme.

this is like cracking the cryptic but for minesweeper edit- never mind, you used bifurcation, and simon DESPISES that lol

Congrats on 500k subs!!!!!!!

adding the Connected rule sounds like it makes it easier, I wonder what condition would make it harder

Btw are you gonna continue last call bbs, would like chip wizard next!

Late to the party, but [SH] Shift: every time a flag is placed the uncovered board reorients itself. The numbers change with the new board.

Congrats on 500k!!!

waiting for someone for quantum minesweeper: every click is in the superposition

Some times I feel like the game just accomodates Tyler's logic. Like, there's no way all that guessing and assuptions where supposed to happen and still the game says "well, let's go with his idea".

Okay this game is freakin awesome

If you love minesweeper then you should definitely play Demon Crawl

This singular video taught me minesweeper in the first 5 minutes.

honestly i wouldnt mind another video of this just doing 8x8 random rules ones to see some more of the combinations

Got into minesweeper during Windows 7's days, was really upset when I learned that it was no longer bundled with the OS when I had to upgrade to 10. Never dug deep enough to find a classic version again without ads. Sooo many runs ruined by random chance allowing two possible solutions right at the end T.T

these videos remind me a lot of Cracking the Cryptic.

My brain hurts, but for some reason I want to play minesweeper now 🤯

Imagine you are a minesweeper fan, and you play minesweeper like usual, then you click out a number 9-

Why are there sometimes question marks instead of numbers?

I’m like 15 minutes in and I’m just thinking. What the fuck is going on. This is how other people feel when I talk to them about killer sudoku

Would Liar + Multiple mean it's 1 off from the actual number and a multiple at the same time, 1 off from a multiple, or a multiple of a number that is 1 off from the actual number?

This reminds me of cracking the cryptic’s sudoku channel

Hey Tyler, I’ve been playing this deck-building game called slay the spire and I gotta say it’s super fun. There’s tons of content and a final boss that I just can’t seem to beat, I’d love to see how you’d approach it!

Can I suggest for future Minesweeper Videos (full game) you could have a timer on screen? It would be great to see how long it's taking you.

The real final boss of minesweeper is that one 50/50 square

idea: all of the mines are shown, but the remaning is the safe ones, but, its all ?'s. you have to draw what number it is. #iloveminesweeper

I feel like I'm watching an anime and the protagonist just unveiled his secret technique: "Proof by Contradiction" that he uses to defeat all his enemies. brb gonna go look for a sports anime about model logic.

Actually you missed that 2 adjacent greys cannot contain mines because they would count up to 4

its crazy to think that btd battles led directly to this

The Darksouls of Minesweeper.

Just realised, this is Tyler's 2,000th video

Tyler saying stuff that makes sense until he goes ten steps in and you have no clue what he was saying.

Now turn those letters yellow by perfecting ten puzzles.

5:03 tyler is the best rapper

this guy is a genius

beat ALL the levels because then something might happen (you didn't beat standard 7 and 8)

words cannot describe how much it triggers me that he still hasn't finished standard.

this man's brain is something else

2:16 the 1, 4, and the line look like a face

My brain is f###ed after this video

Me casually going to look for Aliensrock Soduko

Great solves

this game would be a nightmare to code lol. still blows my mind that these levels are completely random

this game is great!

I’d like to see connected and three in a row

Grey cells: the max number isn't 8, or 10, but a 12

that was really fun

I feel like in the full version that one of the rules is gonna be none of the mines can be orthogonally connected but diagonal is ok

BIG BRAIN BRO

didn't watch the video, just came to say that the thumbnail is an impossible minesweeper layout, toodaloo

Tyler's brain is too advanced compared to mine when it comes to minesweeper, so much so that I'm kinda having a hard time following his explanation as he speaks.

Ok i'll watch this later, this is NOT a good video to watch at 2 am

This guy is good

18:03 tyler nooo

Why am I seeing this, I love your videos but have a HISTORY test tomorrow

Since he did not do Classic 7x7, Classic 8x8 is not unlocked! It sad that the demo ends, I really want him to 100% this demo! But not happening, sorry!

What you can do now is get 100 completions on every gamemode

I need rest

It’s all fun and games until you find a 9

Which game is this? It doesn’t say in the title or description Oh, 14 minesweeper variants is the game
