Mahjong Solitaire: instructions and practice
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. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Use the example below to understand a decision.
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.
Practice with a purpose
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you are aiming for
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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.
Using the playing area
Tap two free matching tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.
Work through an example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
Keep this in mind
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.
