How to play Mahjong Solitaire
Take a moment with Mahjong Solitaire before moving to another game. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the example below to understand a decision. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
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.
Focus on one rule
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- Choose a tile with no covering tile and a free left or right side.
- Choose a matching free tile.
- Uncover lower layers.
- Use hints or undo.
Controls
Tap two free matching tiles. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
