Mahjong Solitaire: instructions and practice

Bring your attention to one round of Mahjong Solitaire. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. 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.

Take a closer look while playing
