About Mahjong Solitaire

Mahjong Solitaire is the calm tile-matching game played with a full set of 144 mahjong tiles. You clear the board by matching pairs of identical tiles, one pair at a time. Here the tiles are big and drawn crisply, with clear numbers in the corner, so you can tell the Dots, Bamboo and Characters apart at a glance. Light, Sepia and Dark themes are included, and an Easy-read tile style shows every tile as one big number or letter.

Only free tiles can be matched: a tile is free when nothing lies on top of it and its left or right side is open. Tap a free tile, then tap its twin. Flowers match any other flower and Seasons match any other season, just like the traditional rules. A button can dim the blocked tiles so the free ones stand out.

Every deal is built backwards from a finished board, so every game can be cleared. If you get stuck, the shuffle is free and keeps the game solvable. Undo is unlimited and the hint shows a pair that still leads to a win. There is no timer unless you turn one on.

Choose the classic Turtle with all 144 tiles, or a smaller Garden, Pyramid or Cross layout for a shorter game that suits a phone screen. Every day there is also a free Daily Layout that is the same for everyone. Clear it to build your streak, see your days on a calendar and share your time.

How to play Mahjong Solitaire

1. Clear the board by removing all the tiles in matching pairs.
2. Tap a free tile, then tap an identical free tile. The pair disappears.
3. A tile is free when no tile lies on top of it and its left or right side is open.
4. Any Flower matches any other Flower, and any Season matches any other Season.
5. Stuck? Tap Shuffle. It is free and the game stays solvable. Undo and Hint are unlimited too.

Tips and tricks

• Start with tiles on top of the stacks and at the ends of the longest rows. They block the most other tiles.
• When three or four identical tiles are free, think about which pair opens up more of the board.
• Turn on Free tiles to dim the blocked tiles while you learn.
• Pick Garden or Pyramid for a short game on a phone, and the Turtle when you have more time.
• Easy-read tiles show each tile as one big number or letter, which helps on small screens.
