Find your footing in Mahjong Solitaire

Start Mahjong Solitaire by looking at the playing area and its controls. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. 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.

Try a more deliberate round

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. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
