Mahjong Solitaire: from controls to your first round
Try Mahjong Solitaire at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. 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.
One thing to notice as you play
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.
What the game asks you to do
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
The steps to play
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Tap two free matching tiles. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
One way to understand the rules
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
