Making your first moves in Mahjong Solitaire
Choose a round of Mahjong Solitaire and settle into its rules. 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
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The goal to keep in mind
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
How your actions work
Tap two free matching tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
Put the rules into context
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
One detail worth checking
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
