Try opening up the edges first; unlike standard minesweeper, the edges are always safe.
Then, you can take your time to figure out the mine placements, since there's no time limit or anything :)

Yeah, I really liked that the edges were safe (wasn't sure if that was standard in MS, so I appreciate that) so those were always my first choice. When it came to the 1 marked spaces, all bets were off and I was just kinda winging it lmao.
Definitely gonna keep trying to learn though - I need to see that final level!
