How to play Mahjong Solitaire
Start Mahjong Solitaire by looking at the playing area and its controls. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the example below to understand a decision. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
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.
Build a steady rhythm
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
