Mahjong Solitaire: rules and examples

Make Mahjong Solitaire your next activity in the game library. 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.

Try a more deliberate round

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. Notice the feedback after each input.

Aim for this result

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

The order of play

  2. Choose a matching free tile.
  3. Uncover lower layers.
  4. Use hints or undo.

How your actions work

Tap two free matching tiles. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

An example before you play

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.

A useful caution

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
