How to play Mahjong Solitaire

Mahjong Solitaire gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the example below to understand a decision. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Match number-marked tiles in a compact layered layout. The starting arrangement has a complete removal route, but your choices can still block later pairs.

A careful first round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your goal

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Step by step

1. Choose a tile with no covering tile and a free left or right side.
2. Choose a matching free tile.
3. Uncover lower layers.
4. Use hints or undo.

Controls

Tap two free matching tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.

A useful example

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.

Watch out for this

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
