I probably gave myself this bad habit of flagging and chording from the very beginning when I started playing minesweeeper - and got used to it.
But I also heard that giving up flagging may take a while to get used to, but it may also make you faster in the long run.
I mean, I get it - if you do not flag, you are basically avoiding hitting the squares you do not need to hit, and in turn reducing the number of clicks.
I did try that a couple of times - but I found that I need to think a lot more when playing without flagging, and the “useful” patterns (1-2-1, 1-2-2-1 and stuff like those) are not really useful there.
Thoughts?
I’ve never even tried going without flags a single time, haha. It just seems like it’d make the game so much harder when it’s already difficult depending on the mine density you set!
