An introduction to playing Mahjong Solitaire
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Mahjong Solitaire. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. 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.
A focus for your next round
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
What you need to achieve
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.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Using the playing area
Tap two free matching tiles. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Put the rules into context
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A useful caution
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
