Learn the rules of Mahjong Solitaire

Start Mahjong Solitaire by looking at the playing area and its controls. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. 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.

Take a closer look while playing

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

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. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Follow these playing steps

  1. Choose a tile with no covering tile and a free left or right side.
  2. Choose a matching free tile.
  3. Uncover lower layers.
  4. Use hints or undo.

How to interact with the game

Tap two free matching tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.

See how the rules apply

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.

An important reminder

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
