How to play Mahjong Solitaire

Read the aim of Mahjong Solitaire, then make your first move. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. 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.

A careful first round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your goal

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Take a moment to understand the current position.

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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. 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. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Watch out for this

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
