About the 12x12 preset
This is a starting point for the custom game builder: a compact 12×12 board carrying 22 mines across 144 cells, or 15.3% density. That puts it in the same difficulty band as Intermediate (40 mines on 16×16), so what changes here is scale rather than difficulty — 122 cells to clear instead of 216.
