Bounded Box Pattern diagram

Explanation

Pattern found by: Not Anon

The blue cells contain one mine

The green cells contain 2 mines

The “box” contains between 3 mines

One of these mines goes into the yellow cells

The red cells contain two mines

The 3 sees some of the red cells, that contain 1-2 mines, so the lime crossed cells are safe.

You can also apply this backwards and prove that the cell bottom-right of the 4 is a mine, which simplifies it to a basic box
