Either way, this makes me sad because the series used to have such wonderfully spooky, evocative covers and this one seems so generic. Trying to discern if it was made cheap and fast or is just AI slop. Thanks for your help!

Iām guessing this will be solved quickly but I have been playing this a lot lately and I get annoyed when I hit a mine on the first try. Also points to anyone who can tell me how to successfully start a game without hitting a mine. Maybe Iām missing something. I do know how to play once I get numbers showing.
Editing to add: the board is 16×30 and there are 99 mines.

A teaspoon of water weighs exactly five grams. Inside those five grams are roughly 5 followed by 23 zeros in atoms. The entire Atlantic Ocean holds 310 million cubic kilometres of water. Scoop that entire ocean out, and you get about 6 followed by 22 zeros in teaspoons. Match them up, and the tiny piece of cutlery in your kitchen easily wins. It completely breaks how human brains visualise scale. The microscopic world is unfathomably vast.

Kronosaurus wasn’t a dinosaur, but that didn’t stop it from dominating the oceans like a true apex predator. Belonging to the pliosaur group of marine reptiles, this beast stretched over 10 metres in length and was built for raw power. Its massive skull housed dozens of conical teeth, each designed to crush shells and pierce flesh with ease. With a bite strong enough to splinter bone and flippers that propelled it like a high-speed submarine, Kronosaurus hunted with brutal efficiency.
This predator patrolled the shallow inland seas of what is now Australia and South America around 100 million years ago. Its prey included large fish, ammonites, marine turtles, and even other marine reptiles. Kronosaurus didn’t need stealth or cunning. It relied on speed, strength, and size to overwhelm anything in its path. Its flippers, structured like underwater wings, gave it surprising agility for such a bulky creature. It could make sharp turns to chase prey, burst forward in ambush, or drag smaller rivals into the depths.
The name Kronosaurus comes from Cronus, the Titan from Greek mythology who devoured his own children. The comparison is fitting. Kronosaurus was not just another marine reptile. It was a sea monster of epic proportions, unmatched in its time.
Fossils of Kronosaurus were first discovered in Queensland, Australia, in the early 20th century. Since then, paleontologists have pieced together its terrifying profile using a combination of bones, tooth impressions, and modern reconstruction techniques. While debates about its exact length continue, one thing is certain: Kronosaurus was among the deadliest creatures to ever swim Earth’s oceans.
Fun Fact: A mounted skeleton of Kronosaurus was famously displayed at Harvard University’s Museum of Comparative Zoology, but researchers later discovered that the reconstruction included too many vertebrae, making the creature look longer than it actually was.
