Rules, controls and help for Mahjong Solitaire
Try Mahjong Solitaire at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Look at what changes after your first action. 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.
Bring this focus to a round
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Understand the aim
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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.
The controls to know
Tap two free matching tiles. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful example
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.
A useful caution
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
