About Mahjong Solitaire
Mahjong Solitaire is the tile-matching classic — no dice, no opponents, just a hundred and forty-four ornate tiles stacked into a layout and a simple rule for taking them apart. A tile is free only when nothing rests on top of it and at least one long side, left or right, is open; tap a free tile and its twin to clear the pair, with the friendly wrinkle that any flower matches any flower and any season any season. It looks like a memory game and is really a game of order: the same pair can often be cleared two ways, and choosing the one that unblocks the most other tiles — especially the ones buried under the upper layers — is what carries you to an empty board. Keeping a matched pair in reserve rather than snapping up every match on sight is the habit that saves stuck games. Every deal here is built to be solvable, with a hint and a limited shuffle for when you are truly stranded. It plays free in your browser on phone or desktop, no download, best score saved.
How to play
- Clear the board by removing matching pairs of tiles until none are left.
- A tile is free to take only when nothing sits on top of it and one of its long sides is open.
- Tap a free tile, then its match — identical tiles pair, and any flower matches any flower, any season any season.
- Every deal can be solved, so use hint or shuffle if you get stuck.
Strategy & tips
- Take tiles that unblock the most other tiles, not just the first pair you spot.
- Free the tiles trapped under the upper layers early — they are the hardest to reach.
- When several copies of a tile are exposed, think about which pair opens up more of the board.
- Keep a matching pair in reserve rather than clearing every match the moment you see it.
- If no moves remain, a shuffle reshuffles the rest — but you only get a few, so plan ahead.
