How to Play Fraction Sweeper 🧩

Welcome to Fraction Sweeper! Your mission is to clear the board without clicking on any hidden traps. Use your math skills and logic to find all the safe squares!

🎮 The Controls

Use the Mode button at the bottom to switch between two actions:

• 👆 Reveal Mode: Click a square to uncover it. If it's safe, you'll get a math clue. If it's a trap, game over!

• 🚩 Flag Mode: If you are sure a square is a trap, switch to Flag Mode and click it to place a red flag. This protects you from accidentally clicking it later!

🧮 How to Read the Clues (The Math Part!)

When you click a safe square, it will reveal a fraction. This fraction tells you how many traps are hiding in the squares right next to it (including diagonals).

Here is how to decode the fraction:

• The Bottom Number (Denominator): This is the total number of squares touching your tile.

  • Hint: A tile in the middle touches 8 squares. A tile on the flat edge touches 5. A tile in the corner touches only 3.

• The Top Number (Numerator): This is the ratio of those touching squares that are traps.

Watch out for Reduced Fractions! Because you're a math whiz, the game will always give you the simplest form of the fraction.

• Example: Let's say your tile is in the middle of the board (touching 8 squares) and there are 2 traps next to it.

• The game won't say 2/8. It will reduce the fraction and say 1/4.

• You have to ask yourself: "What is 1/4 of 8?" The answer is 2 traps!

💡 Stuck? Use the Helper!

If you are still learning your fractions, click the Helper: OFF button at the bottom to turn it ON. It will show you a tiny grey number next to the fraction so you know exactly how many traps are nearby.

Good luck, and happy sweeping!
