Thanks for playing!
Ah, yeah, Minesweeper mechanics can be tricky...
Whenever you feel like taking another spin on it: in this game, all 8 tiles surrounding a tile with no number are completely safe, so those are the ones you can freely reveal.
From there—though it can get a bit confusing—pumpkins are hiding around the numbered tiles, so the main puzzle is using logic to deduce where they are!
I guess it really comes down to personal taste, plus how familiar people are with Minesweeper in general. Since it used to come pre-installed on Windows, back in the day almost everyone knew it, but that might vary a lot nowadays!
