Mahjong Solitaire
Clear the pyramid by matching free tiles in pairs. Every deal is guaranteed solvable.
How to play
- Tap a free tile, then tap another free tile with the same picture to remove both.
- A tile is free when nothing sits on top of it and its left or right side is open. Blocked tiles are dimmed.
- Clear all 96 tiles to win. Your best time is saved on this device.
- Use Hint to highlight a matching pair, Undo to take back pairs, and Shuffle to re-deal what is left if you get stuck.
Tips and strategy
- Prioritise tiles that unblock the most others, especially on the lower layers and the long middle rows.
- Before removing a pair, check if the same picture has another matching tile that is easier to reach later.
- Take the top of the pyramid down early so tiles underneath become available.
- Every deal is built backwards from a cleared board, so a full solution always exists, even if you need Undo to find it.
FAQ
- Can I get stuck?
- You can reach a position with no free pair if you make a poor choice. Shuffle re-deals the remaining tiles into another solvable arrangement, or Undo takes moves back.
- Are these the traditional mahjong tiles?
- No. The pictures are original emoji symbols so the game works everywhere. The rules are the familiar solitaire rules.
