Play Mahjong Solitaire with the rules at hand
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. 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.
Practice with a purpose
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.
Aim for this result
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Making your moves
- Choose a tile with no covering tile and a free left or right side.
- Choose a matching free tile.
- Uncover lower layers.
- Use hints or undo.
Making selections and moves
Tap two free matching tiles. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
One way to understand the rules
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
One detail worth checking
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
