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. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. 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.
Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
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. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
