How to play Mahjong Solitaire

Clear all tiles from the tower before time runs out.

Spotting a hidden matching pair buried under a stack of tiles delivers a small but genuine thrill each time the layout opens up.

  • Tap a free (highlighted) tile, then tap its matching tile to clear the pair
  • Tap Shuffle to reshuffle remaining tiles into a solvable layout

💡 A tile is only free if nothing sits above it and one side is open — plan which side you clear from.

💡 Clear tiles from the top layers first rather than the edges, since freeing higher tiles unlocks more matches beneath them.
