| Flags are used to mark tiles which you suspect may hide a mine. Putting a flag on a tile prevents you from clicking on it and possibly causing an explosion, ending the game.

How to place a flag on a tile

To place a red flag on a tile: <list> <item> Right click on a blank tile. </item> </list> |

The number of flags available is

equal to the number of remaining mines.

Use of <em>I'm not sure</em> flag

If you're unsure if a tile hides a mine or not, you can use the blue I'm not sure.

To put an I'm not sure flag on a tile: <list> <item> Right-click twice on a blank tile. </item> </list> |

<note>

To enable these flags, click <guiseq><gui>Settings</gui><gui>Preferences</gui> </guiseq>, and tick <gui>Use I'm not sure flags</gui>.
