Minesweeper
Verdict
There is no score. The metric is time to clear the board, recorded separately per difficulty.
Why people argue about this
People often assume Minesweeper is a game of points and victory based on how many bombs are safely navigated without triggering an explosion. However, the official scoring system in Minesweeper actually measures time to clear the board independently for each difficulty level, leading to misunderstandings about what constitutes winning or losing.
Send this to your friend — argument over.

Flag count is not part of the result: a board cleared with no flags placed at all is a legitimate win, and flagless play is a recognised style.
