How to Play
Mahjong Solitaire uses 144 tiles stacked into the classic turtle layout. Two tiles can be removed together when they match and both are free. A tile is free when no tile sits on top of it and either its left or its right side is open. Circles, bamboos and characters match within their own suit and number; the four winds and three dragons match identical faces; any flower matches any other flower and any season matches any other season. Every board is dealt by removing pairs from a full layout first, so it is always possible to finish. Choose today's board for a layout that is identical for every player until midnight, or a random board for a fresh deal every time. If you get stuck, Shuffle re-deals the tiles that are left and Hint points out a matching pair.
Controls
- Tap a free tile to select it
- Tap a second matching free tile to remove both
- Use Hint, Shuffle and Undo below the board
Tips & Tricks
- 1Clear the tall stack in the middle before you strip the long rows
- 2Remove tiles that uncover the most neighbours first
- 3Today's board is the same for everyone, so it is the one worth comparing times on
- 4Hunt for pairs that free the most tiles — removing a tile stacked on top unlocks everything beneath it
- 5Use Hint sparingly and Shuffle only when genuinely stuck; both are always available and every board is solvable
