Learn your way around Mahjong Solitaire

Open Mahjong Solitaire, check the instructions and begin a round. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. 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 focus for your next 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. Keep the objective visible.

The purpose of your moves

Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

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.

How to use the controls

Tap two free matching tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.

Put the rules into context

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.

Watch out for this

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
