Mahjong Solitaire: a guide for your next round

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. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.

What counts as success

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Work through the instructions

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Tap two free matching tiles. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

Work through an example

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.

Where a round can go wrong

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
