How to play Mahjong Solitaire

The tiles are stacked in a layered layout. Your goal is to remove all of them in pairs. Tap a tile, then tap a second tile with the same picture – if both are free, the pair flies away.

A tile is free when no other tile lies on top of it and its left or right side is open. Tiles that cannot be taken yet are shown slightly darker, so you always see which tiles are in play.

Tips for clearing the board

  • Open the stacks first. Tiles on the top layers block several tiles below them – removing them early gives you more choices.
  • Free the long rows. Tiles at the ends of long rows unlock the whole row one by one.
  • Watch for all four. When all copies of a picture are free, you can take them at any time without risk – save them for later.
  • Use the hint wisely. The hint looks ahead and suggests a pair that keeps the board solvable.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Mahjong Solitaire free?

Yes. Every level is free to play in your browser, without an account or download.

Can every game be solved?

Yes. Each deal is generated by placing pairs in reverse order, so there is always at least one way to clear the whole board. If you get stuck, use undo, a hint or a shuffle.

Which tiles can I take?

Only free tiles: nothing on top, and an open left or right side. Blocked tiles are shown darker.

Is this the same as Mahjong with four players?

No. Mahjong Solitaire (also called Shanghai or tile matching) is a single-player puzzle that uses mahjong-style tiles. You only need to find matching pairs.
