The essentials of playing Mahjong Solitaire
Start Mahjong Solitaire by looking at the playing area and its controls. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Look at what changes after your first action. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. 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
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The objective of a round
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. 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.
How to interact with the game
Tap two free matching tiles. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use one clear input at a time.
Put the rules into context
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
One detail worth checking
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
