Niva: Daily Minesweeper

Niva is a daily minesweeper puzzle, and every board can be solved by logic alone. You never have to guess, and the game works fully offline. If you know classic Minesweeper, you already know the rules. Each number counts the mines that touch its tile, and you find the rest by deduction. There is one new board a day, the same for everyone. Each tile you open shows a small part of that day's picture. Tap a tile to dig, and hold it to plant a flag. When a number has all its mines flagged, tap it to open the tiles around it. There are four difficulty levels, and each has its own daily board and streak. Easy is 6×6 with 6 mines, Medium is 9×9 with 10, and Hard is 13×13 with 30. Medium and Hard each need a deeper kind of reasoning than the level below. Expert is the classic 30×16 board with 99 mines. You can pan and zoom it on a phone. When you clear a board, its picture fills with color and goes into your collection. You can save a board and play it again later. The Play more button gives you an extra random board at the same level, outside your streak. When you share a result, people see your time, your streak and the day's picture. They never see where the mines are. Niva is a no-guess minesweeper: a solver checks every board before you play it. Careful reasoning is always enough, and you never lose a game to a coin flip. Every tile has a screen reader label with its row, column and state. Text grows with your system text size, and animations follow the reduce motion setting. Niva has light and dark themes and is translated into 20 languages. There are no ads, and Niva needs no account. Every board comes with free hints. If you want more, you can buy a pack of 10 hints in the app, to use on any board. A board always uses its free hints first. Niva is the Belarusian word for a field.

Niva now teaches. Sixteen short lessons cover every rule, from the first dig to the last mine, and you can try any of them from Settings. Hints show the next move and explain why, and on Easy they are free without limit. Settings are now in groups, so what you look for is easier to find. The fields ask for more thinking than before, most of all on Expert, and every step can still be worked out from the numbers alone.
