This is why I hate minesweeper, that you can do everything right and have it come down to a 50/50 feels unsatisfying

Most of modern minesweeper implementation can generate a 100% solvable board, so it's not that bad.

Or they make it where if you have exact flag placement you're good. So you can try putting a flag on each one in turn.

A little annoying when you end with 3-4 50/50 splits, but not too too hard to just brute force the 8-16 combos.
