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. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. 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.
A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
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. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
