How to play Mahjong Solitaire
Bring your attention to one round of Mahjong Solitaire. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Look at what changes after your first action. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. 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.
Focus on one rule
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
