Minesweeper Demystified Part 2 - Two pattern and its combinations

 In this second post in the series, we are going to look at two and its patterns. Let us jump into it.

2-2 from the corner

If you see this pattern, it should be pretty straight forward. You have a two at the corner so it must mean that there are two mines from that corner going upwards.

2-3-2 Pattern

This is a no brainer. As long as there is three in the middle of twos and only touches the squares on one side.

2-3-3-2 Pattern

This is the same case as the above but the differences are four mines instead of three and an extra three in the pattern. The principle remains the same.

Thank you for reading all the way to the end. I hope this blog post has shed some light in terms of understanding the patterns of minesweeper. If you would like to see this and more patterns in action, you can check out the video below.
