Holy moly! I thought I was in for a Minesweeper clone, but this is original and unique. Well played!

I was able! I first assumed the numbers meant the same as in minesweeper, but quickly fell through the ice, trying to dig up every free space around me. On my second attempt I found my first letter. I failed there too, thinking S stood for stress. Eventually when I found the W and E, I made the connection and finally won!
I've had a few friends try it and it can be difficult to pick up, but certainly fun to master!
