Try playing Minesweeper using words instead of numbers

Features & Capabilities

WordSweeper reimagines the classic Minesweeper game by replacing numbers with words, adding a new layer of complexity and fun. Inspired by popular word games like Wordle and Semantle, this extension challenges players to avoid 'bomb' words while deciphering related and unrelated word hints around each tile. Each round features a random target word, and players must strategically flag locations where it may appear, enhancing vocabulary and puzzle-solving skills.

Players can long-press to flag suspected bombs and, after each round, view translations for less familiar words. WordSweeper seamlessly blends language learning with classic gameplay, offering endless entertainment for puzzle enthusiasts and word lovers alike. Ready for a fresh take on a timeless favorite? Download WordSweeper and challenge your mind today!

Recent reviews

Use to be a classic Minesweeper app. For some reason it changed to this WordSweeper thing with Twitter links. Any 5 star reviews were probably from when it was still Minesweeper.
