Guess

You must make a Guess when you don't have enough information to deduce a safe cell to open.

You "have to guess" when based on the clues every hidden cell has a chance of being a mine.

To "fail a guess" means you had to guess and made a Mistake.

Autosolver Mechanics

DemonCrawl has a minesweeper solving algorithm it uses to test if any safe moves are possible. This is also how the game builds Trusty mod stages. The autosolver is not perfect. Even if the game can't see any safe cells for you to open, you may be able to find one with sophisticated logic. Likewise, the solver only uses conventional minesweeper clues. Additional information from DemonCrawl mechanics such as items can often inform safe moves that the game thinks are guesses. On the other hand, the autosolver also does not understand DemonCrawl mechanics that conceal clues such as Frozen Aura cells or inconvenient Objects, sometimes forcing you to make an uncertain move when the game thinks you can find a safe one.

In addition to local clues, near the end of the level the autosolver can also use the remaining monster count to deduce possible safe cells.

Novice
