Mahjong Connect: instructions and practice

Start Mahjong Connect by looking at the playing area and its controls. Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Read the objective before making your first input. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

6×8 grid and two-turn path finding.

Bring this focus to a round

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your objective

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.

Work through the instructions

  1. Select equal tiles.
  2. The route must cross only empty cells.
  3. An outside-border path is allowed.
  4. Open connections by removing pairs.

How your actions work

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

Put the rules into context

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A useful caution

Three corners are invalid. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
