Intermediate Minesweeper Leaderboard
Clasificaciones competitivas por número de trofeos
Minesweeper world rankings compare the fastest ranked clears by time, 3BV/s, and efficiency. Filter by difficulty and season to study top Standard-mode results, or switch to the No-Guessing rankings for the logic-only pool. The current Intermediate record in this category is 35.140s, set by 1761723, and the 11 fastest ranked players average 169.3s.
This leaderboard covers the middle classic board - 16x16 with 40 mines, about 15.6 percent density - where the puzzle is large enough to reward technique but still small enough to hold in your head. Each row shows a player's best ranked time next to the 3BV/s that produced it.

What Counts as a Good Intermediate Time
Intermediate benchmarks are wider apart than Beginner ones because there is room for technique to compound. Sub-60 seconds is a solid result and the usual sign that chording has become automatic rather than something you remember to do. Sub-40 seconds is competitive; at that pace you are no longer solving one clue at a time but reading several linked numbers in a single glance. Sub-10 seconds is elite territory that very few players reach on any board draw.
For scale, the fastest Intermediate solve on the externally verified record lists sits at about 7.05 seconds. That record belongs to the global verification authorities outside this site and is not a time you will find in the table above.
Something worth knowing before you compare: Intermediate rewards consistency more than the other difficulties. A player who posts 45 seconds every game is usually further along than one whose average is a minute with a single lucky 30.
Reading 3BV and 3BV/s on the 16x16 Board
Intermediate boards typically carry something in the region of 40 to 70 3BV. That is the minimum click count needed to clear them, and the difference between the two ends of the range is close to a factor of two - enough that time alone tells you very little about who played better.
3BV/s fixes that. It normalises the result by the work the board actually contained, which is why competitive players quote it before they quote seconds. On Intermediate, 2.0 3BV/s is a decent working rate, 3.0 is high, and 4.0 is very high. If your times are stuck but your 3BV/s is still rising, you are improving - the boards have simply been generous or stingy in ways the clock cannot separate.
How to Climb the Intermediate Leaderboard
The players at the top of this table are not clicking faster than you by much; they are clicking fewer times. At 15.6 percent density a satisfied number sits next to several unopened cells, so every chord you take replaces three or four separate reveals. Skipping chords is the single most common reason an Intermediate run stalls around the minute mark.
Flag discipline is the other half. A flag has no ranked value in itself - it only matters when it completes a number you are about to chord, and any flag that does not do that is wasted travel that drags your efficiency down. The habit to build is to place a flag and take the chord it unlocks as one motion, without moving the cursor away in between, then let that chord's new numbers feed the next pair.

Puntos clave
- Los rankings se ordenan por el mejor tiempo de finalización para cada combinación de dificultad y modo. Solo tu única mejor solución cuenta.
- 3BV/s (valor 3BV por segundo) mide cuántos grupos de celdas lógicos limpiaste por segundo: es la métrica de eficiencia estándar en el Minesweeper competitivo.
- La eficiencia es el porcentaje de tus clics que fueron necesarios: una mayor eficiencia significa menos clics desperdiciados en marcar o limpiar por acordes.
- La tabla de clasificación Estándar permite todos los estilos de juego legales. Sin Adivinar es una categoría separada para tableros que eran completamente resolubles sin adivinar.
- Los rankings se reinician cada temporada: la clasificación muestra solo los mejores tiempos de esta temporada. Los resultados de temporadas pasadas se archivan.

- Una alta eficiencia importa más que la velocidad bruta en la cima. Los jugadores más rápidos suelen tener una eficiencia del 90 %+ — cada clic cuenta.
- Comprueba las pestañas Estándar y Sin Adivinar para tu rango. Muchos jugadores se clasifican significativamente mejor en un modo: conocer tu fortaleza comparativa te ayuda a decidir dónde competir para las recompensas de temporada.
- Envía un tiempo antes de que termine la temporada. Las recompensas de temporada van a los jugadores mejor clasificados en el corte: una sola solución clasificada asegura tu posición en la temporada aunque no sea un récord personal.
