The Mahjong Solitaire playbook
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. Look at what changes after your first action.
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.
A small practice goal
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.
Your objective
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Work through the instructions
- 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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. A new-round button replaces the current round.
See the idea in action
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Keep this in mind
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
