What is the Minesweeper world record?
The verified world record for Expert Minesweeper sits around 27 to 32 seconds depending on the platform and verification rules. These runs require a favorable board layout with low 3BV and near-perfect execution. For context: sub-100 seconds is solid for a casual player, sub-60 is competitive, sub-40 is expert level, and sub-30 is world-class. For Beginner, a good time is under 5 seconds. For Intermediate, under 30. To get faster, focus on pattern recognition so you spend less time thinking, and use chording aggressively to clear large areas per click.
