How to play Mahjong Connect

Read the aim of Mahjong Connect, then make your first move. Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

6×8 grid and two-turn path finding.

Review a difficult moment

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your goal

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

Step by step

1. Select equal tiles.
2. The route must cross only empty cells.
3. An outside-border path is allowed.
4. Open connections by removing pairs.

Controls

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.

A useful example

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.

Watch out for this

Three corners are invalid. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
