FAQ
How do you play Mahjong Solitaire?
Select two tiles with the same design to remove them. A tile can only be taken if no tile is on top of it and at least one of its left or right sides is open. Tiles that can't be taken are shown slightly darker. Remove every tile to win.
Is every layout solvable?
Yes. Each day's layout is built by stacking pairs in reverse removal order, so there is always an order that clears every tile. But each tile appears four times, so pairing the wrong two can leave you stuck partway.
What if I get stuck?
When no pairs are left, the game ends automatically and you can record how many tiles you removed. Press Restart to try again from the starting layout. Tips: free up tiles that are blocking others from the sides or top first, and when all four copies of a tile are visible, think about which two to keep.
How is it different from Shisen-Sho?
In Shisen-Sho, tiles are laid out flat and you remove pairs that can be connected by a line with at most two turns. In Mahjong Solitaire the tiles are stacked, and a tile covered from above or blocked on both sides can't be taken.
How is the leaderboard ranked?
By tiles removed (+50 for clearing them all), most first; ties go to the shorter time. Each size has its own leaderboard. You only need a nickname, and you can submit up to 30 times a day. The server replays your moves to verify them.
