How to play Mahjong Connect

Take a moment with Mahjong Connect before moving to another game. Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Look at what changes after your first action.

6×8 grid and two-turn path finding.

Try a deliberate move

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your goal

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.

Step by step

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.

Controls

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A useful example

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.

Watch out for this

Three corners are invalid. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
