Mahjong Solitaire: learn through an example

Mahjong Solitaire gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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. Look at what changes after your first action.

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.

Something to practise

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.

What you need to achieve

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.

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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Tap two free matching tiles. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.

Work through an example

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.

A mistake to avoid

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