A practical guide to Mahjong Solitaire

Choose a round of Mahjong Solitaire and settle into its rules. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the example below to understand a decision. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.

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.

Take a closer look while playing

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.

What the game asks you to do

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Learn from a sample situation

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.

Avoid this misunderstanding

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.
