Using the Inspect Feature Wisely Using Playing Field Numbers to Deduce Seed Locations and Explore the Field

Doing well in Vinesweeper requires you to employ mathematical and spatial reasoning, to take the information you are given and use it to figure out where seeds are. Some players find this easy, in fact almost intuitive to do; others find the rotating numbers and patterns of holes and spaces confusing, or even overwhelming. This doesn’t mean that the first group is smarter than the second, just that, perhaps, their brains are wired a bit differently.

Well, not to worry! In this section I will show you how anyone can use the information given by the game to find and flag seeds quickly and easily. I start out by describing the logic used to determine seed locations from the positions of numbers, spaces and holes on the field. Then, I outline three sets of patterns that will allow to find and flag seeds without having to constantly analyze the board; this will let you get lots of points fast!
