Guess.

Minesweeper is notorious for having some luck to it. The key is trying to do the 100% luck parts as early as possible so you don't waste time doing the rest of the board only to fail later.

Minesweeper is notorious for having some luck to it.

There's guess-free versions that guarantee solvable games. There's also ones that automatically place a mine on the clicked tile if you take an unnecessary guess. Personally I really like https://davidnhill.github.io/JSMinesweeper with only "Fast mode" (and optionally "No guess") enabled and everything else off.

Gotta do the edges first, the squares on the edges have less information
