Play Mahjong Solitaire with the rules at hand

Make Mahjong Solitaire your next activity in the game library. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. 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.

A small practice goal

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. Notice the feedback after each input.

The objective of a round

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

Work through the instructions

  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.

Input guidance

Tap two free matching tiles. Use the control method described here for this activity. Look at the feedback after the action.

An example before you play

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.

Pay attention to this rule

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
