How to play Mahjong Solitaire
Mahjong Solitaire gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Use the example below to understand a decision.
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.
Build a steady rhythm
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Step by step
- Choose a tile with no covering tile and a free left or right side.
- Choose a matching free tile.

- Use hints or undo.
Controls
Tap two free matching tiles. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
