How the boards were built
Every daily board comes from a fixed seed, so each of these grids was identical for every player on 4 May 2026. The numbers below describe the exact layouts that were played, including their 3BV — the minimum number of left clicks needed to clear the board, and the figure behind a 3BV/s rating.
| Board | Grid | Mines | Density | 3BV | Openings | Largest opening |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 9×9 | 10 | 12.3% | 14 | 4 | 15 cells |
| Intermediate | 16×16 | 40 | 15.6% | 66 | 5 | 24 cells |
| Expert | 30×16 | 99 | 20.6% | 181 | 16 | 13 cells |
