Open up a lot of areas
I have discovered that (at least so far with easy and medium) if you click, in the beginning, on a place that opens up a lot of area….look for all the corners where the #1 has only one possibility. Then click around that area where all the other #1’s touch the bomb square. It seems to have a nice ripple effect. I have found that I still have to “guess” once in each game, so luck still has to be on your side that one time. I used to use that strategy when playing minesweeper on my computer. – Denise Meyer
