How to play Mahjong Solitaire

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Mahjong Solitaire. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. 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.

Practice with a purpose

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.

The purpose of your moves

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Making your moves

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Tap two free matching tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Follow the example

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.

An important reminder

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
