How to play Mahjong Solitaire
Choose a round of Mahjong Solitaire and settle into its rules. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
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.
Build a steady rhythm
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. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
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. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
