i highly appreciate the small red highlights showing what is tyler talking about also editing as been so damn good lately!

I like rules like this. As a sudoku fan, I find that variants like killer sudoku make the game more interesting and also easier, since restrictive logic also means you always get more information with every tile you fill. Very fun!

I love how you explain the logic behind the marking.

The "Outside" here is a common puzzle variant I've usually seen referred to as "Caves". One of the simplest rules you can determine of a Caves puzzle is that there can never exist a "checkerboard" 2x2 area. This is because you will ALWAYS isolate an island, like you showed at 15:44- so any configuration that creates a 2x2 checkerboard is automatically able to be ruled out.

Tyler's slow descent into the logic puzzle rabbit hole. Before long he'll find out about GM Puzzles and join Puzzle Grand Prix.

"I like your funny words, Magic Man."

this variant feels like if you turned hexcells back into minesweeper

Tyler: If you want a tough Minesweeper, maybe try Hempuli's Cavern Sweeper. Each mine can have both different shapes and different power.

If you liked the Wall Minesweeper Variant, you might also like the puzzle it originates from - Tapa. There are a few very interesting extra rules, for example all mine fields must be orthogonally connected, which leads to insane logical deductions. I urge you to try it out, it is maybe the coolest kind of puzzle I ever played!

Featured rulesets: [W] [Q] [D] [O] [S] - Standard Minesweeper rules [T] - Tic-tac-no [M] - Some idiot put an extra mine in the grey squares! [Cc] - The minefield is colored like a chessboard [L] - The clues are one off of the actual amount of mines near them [+] - Two random rules put together [W] - Great broken walls of minesweeper [Q] - a mine for every 2x2! [D] - introverted pairs of mines [O] - paths of mines inland, all else is a chunk of non-mines

Honestly loved the editing on this minesweeper video, very clean subtle way to direct our attention that wasn't distracting!

The Outside puzzles were really interesting, felt like more different lines of thinking than a lot of the other variants. And oh god, combining these is scary already lol

Another Video! Always great watching your videos Tyler, and great editing by Dan! Love the colors to help in the explanation

Oh my god the editing here Wonderful job, whoever did this. Thank you!

I'm so happy Tyler returned to this gem of a puzzle game

Hey, the rulesets of these videos make me think about the pencil puzzles found in online puzzle contests (the Wall ruleset being very close to the "Tapa" puzzle type and the Outisde ruleset being close to the "Cave" puzzle type), i think you would enjoy them and they might even be good content for videos The website logic masters india recently hosted a contest called "PANFOPCWHTTAPA (Picking A Name For Our Puzzle Contest Was Harder Than The Actual Puzzles Are)" which is a good introduction to those puzzle contests (they're originally done with pen and paper but a very good tool for solving them on computers is usable)

Yes, timer for all puzzles games that you are doing would be great :D awesome vid as always!

I am playing this game. Since every rule has a lot of smaller levels for practice and it is a hardcore puzzle game, efforts are behind the cut version. Hat off to Tyler and Dan! Btw the key to outside puzzles is never make a diagonal cross with 2 mines and 2 non-mines.

spoiler alert for the one of the rule one trick that you can do with the outside rule is that you can't have a 2x2 checkerboard of mines and non-mines, I can't really explain it on words but someone on the replies has explained it

this is an incredibly good video 👍 great explanations tyler and great editing Dan

I actually happen to know the tricks for “outside” pretty well from variant sudoku. Having a checkerboard pattern is never tenable because it requires cutting one or the other off from the rest of the map because of orthogonality rules

I love these crazy minesweeper games can you play more 4d minesweeper? That was really cool to watch

Strong Cracking The Crytic vibes in this video I love it! You guys would get along pretty well

man these videos are too OP to just have one like button. on every new challenge i keep scrolling down, thinking to myself, that tyler has earned a like, for how great he explaines the rules, and plays the boards out. but i already like the video on the previous problem. what am i supposed to do. solve this problem please tyler senpai

That last one really reminded me a lot about an old game app I played a lot called Nurikabe Vault. You had a few numbered tiles on a board saying how many tiles of wall that number takes and then you had to draw an empty path surrounding each just like in the video.

Learning ab logic while being entertained!! Thank u

I love the names he gives the shapes, like a "domino" and a "macaroni elbow".

finally, a complex puzzle game tyler plays that i can actually understand and play on my own!

A new 14 minesweeper varients video today and a Shotgun King video tomorrow? Holy shit this is great.

"It can't be this domino because then it would form a weird macaroni of them." why is this making me laugh so much

It's like non-hexagonal hexcells

Expert mode is the most insane idea ever, wow.

I love this game. I'm working on mastery in all the playstyles in all of the sizes.

The way of solving the Dual mode kinda reminds me of the Battleship game: you search for 2x1 ships and then clear the space around it

The flag at the end is the start of the levelset menu ;-) It represents the base level set which you are currently playing, but with some exploration and completion others will soon appear.

Minesweeper variants that really make you think And Cheel in the Background The perfect video for me :)

You might be interested in the indie game Splice. It’s a bit of an older indie puzzle game, but I remember it was notoriously difficult when it came out

That expert mode is reallly cool

Maybe a week or so ago I downloaded a minesweeper app and watching you play minesweeper has made me not a total plebian

Damn finally a difficulty that helps a lot.

Yup, been playing this game for the last couple days. The bottom right (I think E) of the basic levels is super difficult IMO

God I would have loved playing this game myself. Looks like a ton of fun

This feels like a Kahn academy video for minesweeper

I'm gonna wait on watching this series, I want to play the game myself first.

Tyler out here casually playing minesweeper with proof by contradiction

This version seems like it would be easier than normal minesweeper. Not only do you know how many mines around a cell, you know their groupings.

Last set: Tyler: Bingo Bango Bongo obviously a these 11 are mines. Me: [dialup noises just trying to comprehend the rules, nodding in bewilderment.] OBVIOUSLY.

Expert mode makes all "guess tiles" a Schrodinger Mine

KZfaq giving ads for Patrick’s Parabox on Tyler’s channel is an awesome coincidence.

its out! woop woop!!

Ok these new variants are siiick

Tyler, you need to play Pixoji. It's absolutely nutty with the hint types. It's not minesweeper but similar.

I was literally about to say this games fully out cause I just finished playing each different difficulty

The editing here must've been a pain, godspeed

For the last puzzle, you can deduct that no 2x2 can be formed in a checkerboard pattern, i.e. where two flags are in opposite corners, which would have simplified the logic considerably

My minesweeper skills have gotten so rusty but this looks fun

this feels like a combination of minesweeper and picross

Love this game!

That first genre is based off a logic puzzle called Tapa. The last one is based off Cave.

oh... minesweeper expert mode. I like that. if there's the chance of being wrong the game will make sure you are. That's nice.

Love these

I love the flag clicking noise

Imagine Quad with only a 2 at the beggining

Hey ! If you like games like hexcells and minesweeper variant, I think you will probably love Patterna if you haven't done it yet. It takes hexcells rules to the extremes

Oh this is like minesweeper and picross... This is rather ok for minesweeper variant for me

"quad" can also be named "Hallways" because no group of numbers create 'rooms'

playing this at 0.5 speed makes tyler drunk

as soon as i saw the minesweeper "wall" rule I was like. Holy shit. It's nonograms. It's nonogram rules in minesweeper?????? 10/10

Wake up babe new mine sweeper just dropped.

How the hell did you make minesweeper entertaining

Was CavernSweeper also one of these games that just came out?

Minesweeper but there is math involved!

God I love minesweeper

So expert mode is murphy's law. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong and all that

Just waiting for the next potionomics video …

Tyler's ancestor is Sherlock Holmes

3:05 - How is this cell never a mine? I think you got lucky.

this means that one of those 3 is a mine. which means this is not a mine. which means these 2 are mines which means this one is a mime too. x

I can't even understand the hard level minesweeper logic

Can't believe it! That means there's a 24 tile possible! (888)

Everyone knows the best minesweeper is minesweeper mode in google snake.

The last one has a lone one

So basically, minesweeper : but in hell, got it

Brilliant solution to the broken game of minesweeper

Ah Yes. Killer Minesweeper.

I got a Patrick's paradox ad before this video lol

Expert mode = ALMOST Worst possible luck (otherwise it would be impossible)

16:17 replay button

Well this is significanly easier than normal minesweeper...

He explained everything extremely well and I still couldn’t understand a damn thing. I’ll never understand this game

I really think you would enjoy cave puzzles if you enjoyed the logic in that last variant.

how many "mine[s]" that tyler saids through out the minesweeper?

1 4 looks like a glider to me?

what happened to manufactoria?

So basically you do math while playing minesweeper. Cool.

mine mine mine mine mine mine mine

It looks like ? Means that theres something in a row but its outside the 3x3

No way I just got an ad for Patrick's parabox

Well, well.

Imagine not knowing how to sweep
