Learn the rules of Mahjong Solitaire

Bring your attention to one round of Mahjong Solitaire. 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 need to achieve

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.

Start here and follow along

  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.

Your inputs

Tap two free matching tiles. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Learn from a sample situation

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.

Check this before moving on

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
