If all mines bordering a number are flagged, you can click the number to uncover (or clear) the remaining adjacent squares. This is called CHORDING and can help you clear safe squares quickly.
Chording can be triggered upon 1 click (single click), 2 clicks (double click), or automatically when you select this option from the Game Options menu:
- Click Menu > Game Options > Clicks to chord
- Shift the "Clicks to chord" toggle to select a preference.
- [Auto] - to automatically chord when safe squares are available.
CAREFUL: If you select Auto chording and there is an unflagged mine, it will detonate. - [1] - to trigger chording by a single click on the number within the square.
- [2] - to trigger chording by double clicking the number within the square.
- [Auto] - to automatically chord when safe squares are available.
