Find your footing in 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. Use the example below to understand a decision.
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 beyond the first move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
The purpose of your moves
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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.
Your inputs
Tap two free matching tiles. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.
A mistake to avoid
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
