Your guide to Mahjong Solitaire

Try Mahjong Solitaire at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.

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.

Something to practise

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.

Aim for this result

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.

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.

Your inputs

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.

Learn from a sample situation

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.

A mistake to avoid

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
