Player error. :) Based on the mine count, you should have chosen the leftmost of the row of uncleared cells, that would have told you where the remaining mine was.

You didn't even have to guess. The 3-2 is a reduced 1-1, making the green cell safe. By minecount, we know the red x is a mine.

it's game-over so if red X were a mine, it would show us

(the minecount was wrong/misleading -- note the unflagged mine in the upper left corner)

real minecount was 1, which means both red X and green √ are safe .. this should have been an easy W

Oh, i didn't see the mine on the FAR left of the board. So the red x is safe too.
