Minesweeper
Minesweeper, played fairly: the first click is never a mine and hints are real deductions.

The mines are laid with a seeded generator, so a game can be reproduced exactly. The first cell you click is guaranteed safe — mines under it are relocated before anything is revealed — which is the rule casual implementations skip and the one that makes the opening move meaningful.
Chording works, so clicking a satisfied number clears its neighbours. The hint button only ever points at a cell that is provably safe from the revealed numbers alone; if the position genuinely requires a guess, it says so rather than pretending.
What people open it for
- Playing a fair game where the first click cannot lose
- Using chording the way experienced players do
- Getting a hint that is a deduction rather than a guess
