Mahjong Solitaire: learn through an example

Bring your attention to one round of Mahjong Solitaire. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the example below to understand a decision. 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.

A small practice goal

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.

What you are aiming for

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.

Start here and follow along

  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.

Your inputs

Tap two free matching tiles. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

An example before you play

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.

One detail worth checking

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
