Mahjong Solitaire

Clear the board by removing all 144 tiles in matching pairs.

• A tile is free when no tile lies on top of it and its left or right side is open. Only free tiles can be picked. Blocked tiles are shown slightly darker.
• Tap (or click) one free tile, then a matching free tile to remove both. Tap a selected tile again to deselect it.
• Tiles must be identical — except Flowers (plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, bamboo) which match any other flower, and Seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter) which match any other season.

Tools

• Hint highlights a pair you can remove (key H).
• Undo puts the last pair back (key U or Ctrl+Z).
• Shuffle rearranges the remaining tiles into a solvable position — handy when no moves are left.

Every deal is generated from a real solution, so each layout can always be cleared. Choose from seven layouts — Turtle, Pyramid, Fortress, Bridge, Cross, Butterfly and Cat. Your game is saved automatically and your best time per layout is recorded.

Tips

Work on the tallest stacks and the long rows first; tiles at the ends of rows free up their neighbours. When all four copies of a tile are free, remove them freely — otherwise think about which pair unblocks more tiles.
