Minesweeper 2
Minesweeper 3
Normal 6x6 Sudoku rules apply.
MINESWEEPER
- Shade some cells ("mines") and leave some unshaded ("cleared"). Some cleared cells / mines are shown.
- Each digit in a cleared cell indicates how many mines are in the (up to 8) surrounding cells.
- No two 2x3 boxes have the same number of mines.
Solution code: Digits on mines in column 5, for both puzzles

All so brilliant. They seem to keep on getting more and more fun. The 3rd one in particular felt like it used quite different logic from the first two. Love this series

I've been waiting for a new minesweeper-sudoku puzzle. Thank you!
I also had the feeling that 3 is even easier than 2.

Technically, the solution code asks for the bombs in column 5, not the mines... Are mines bombs? I have no idea. Lovely puzzles!

Amazing puzzle as usual. Thanks a lot

Both were very difficult for me, could have been posted as two separate puzzles :)

These were great. I also found #2 harder than #3, though maybe I missed a trick.
Minesweeper Ichikara hybrid next!! ^_^

I feel like I missed something on the easy one. The hard one felt a lot easier so I solved that first. :)
Great puzzles!

Great additions. I wonder if the ideas could be expanded to 9x9… maybe with some rule adaptions. for me 3 was only slightly more difficult than 2. Great work thx.

Even after three such puzzles, I still expect tiles to clear once I mark them as mine-free. These puzzles evoke the Minesweeper-groove that well! Thanks for sharing.
