How to play Mahjong Solitaire

Make Mahjong Solitaire your next activity in the game library. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

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.

Notice the feedback

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your goal

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.

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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

A useful example

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.

Watch out for this

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
