An introduction to playing 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. 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.

Practice beyond the first move

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.

What you are aiming for

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

The steps to play

  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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A closer look at one example

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.

An important reminder

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
