Mahjong Solitaire: instructions and practice

Open Mahjong Solitaire, check the instructions and begin a round. 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.

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. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your objective

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

How a round unfolds

  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.

How to interact with the game

Tap two free matching tiles. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

A closer look at one example

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.

Keep this in mind

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
