How to play Mahjong Solitaire

Mahjong Solitaire gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. 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.

Keep the aim in sight

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Step by step

  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.

Controls

Tap two free matching tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.

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. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
