Tip #8: Playing Minesweeper



Need a break? Play Minesweeper on your Kindle!

To activate Minesweeper:
Kindle (Original): Click ALT+M
Kindle 2: Click ALT+SHIFT+M

How to Play:
Use the 5-way lever to move about the grid

Click the 5-way on any square. If you hit a mine, you loose.
If you don't hit a mine, the screen displays a batch of numbers. These tell you how many mines are nearby.

M- Place a mine where you think one may be.

Complete the board to win!

  1. Great tip, thanks, but my Kindle Touch 3G has no ALT button on the keyboard?

  2. Hi, this old tip was for the Kindle 2 that we had at the time, though does work for the Kindle 3 (Kindle Keyboard) and Kindle DX also.

    Since then though, a free version of Minesweeper has been developed that works on all Kindle e-inks. Minesweeper
