Learn the rules of Mahjong Solitaire
Make Mahjong Solitaire your next activity in the game library. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Look at what changes after your first action. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
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.
Build familiarity through play
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The purpose of your moves
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The order of play
- Choose a tile with no covering tile and a free left or right side.
- Choose a matching free tile.
- Uncover lower layers.
- Use hints or undo.
The controls to know
Tap two free matching tiles. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
An example to follow
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
A common point of confusion
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
