How to play Mahjong Solitaire

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Mahjong Solitaire. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. 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.

A focus for your next round

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.

The goal to keep in mind

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

How a round unfolds

  1. Choose a tile with no covering tile and a free left or right side.
  2. Choose a matching free tile.
  3. Uncover lower layers.
  4. Use hints or undo.

The controls to know

Tap two free matching tiles. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

Put the rules into context

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.

A mistake to avoid

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
