Beautiful. Just a learner. But can you do a tutorial for a scrabble game

How do I make it where the first click does not have a chance to be a mine? I'm creating this project for the ITF class I take, and I want to make it so that anyone who wants to try it out doesn't get blown up on the first click. (Thank you for making this tutorial by the way, it is SUPER helpful!)
