Mahjong

Mahjong Solitaire is the classic free online tile-matching game. Clear the layered layout by pairing identical free tiles — a tile is free when nothing rests on top of it and one side is open. Every board is generated to be solvable, and undo, a hint, and a shuffle keep you moving. Play on phone or desktop, no download and no sign-up.

How to play

• Tap a free tile to pick it up, then tap a matching free tile to remove the pair.
• A tile is free only if no tile covers it and its left or right side is clear.
• Suit tiles match the same number and suit; any flower matches any flower, any season any season.
• Use Undo to take a move back, Hint to find a pair, and Shuffle if you get stuck.
• Clear every tile to win — the faster, the better your leaderboard time.

Free tiles from the top and the ends first, and try to keep several pairs available rather than clearing one colour completely. When two of a kind are both free, check whether removing them opens more of the board before you commit — and save Shuffle for a real dead end.

More about Mahjong

This is Mahjong Solitaire, a one-player tile-matching game built on the 144 tiles of the classic four-player Chinese game but played by pairing free tiles to clear the layout. The best-known board, the pyramid-like Turtle, spread worldwide after the 1986 computer game Shanghai. The key is to think ahead: freeing one tile can bury another, so clear from the top and the edges to keep your options open.
