Play Mahjong Solitaire free online. Match pairs of free tiles to clear the whole 144-tile pyramid. Hints and shuffle included, no install.
Tap any free tile, then tap a matching free tile to remove the pair. Clear all 144 tiles to win.
Mahjong Solitaire is a tile-matching puzzle built from the pieces of the centuries-old game of mahjong, but played alone and at your own pace. A pyramid of 144 tiles is laid out in three stacked layers, and your goal is to clear every last one by removing them two at a time.
Only 'free' tiles can be taken — a tile is free when nothing rests on top of it and at least one of its left or right edges is open. Tap a free tile, then tap another free tile that shows the same picture, and the matching pair vanishes. As tiles disappear, new ones are exposed and the board slowly opens up beneath your fingers.
It looks gentle, but Mahjong Solitaire rewards foresight. Every board this game deals can be solved, yet a careless match can bury the tile you needed. Plan a few moves ahead, keep your options open, and lean on the hint and shuffle buttons when the layout tightens around you.
Remove all 144 tiles by matching identical pairs. Tap one free tile, then tap a second free tile with the same picture, and the pair is cleared. Keep going until the board is empty.
A tile is free — and therefore playable — when no tile is stacked on top of it and either its left or its right side is unobstructed. Blocked tiles must wait until their neighbours are removed.
Two tiles match when they show exactly the same picture. The set has circles, bamboo, characters, winds, dragons and flowers — thirty-six designs, four of each.
Every board is generated to be solvable, so a win is always possible with careful play. Losing only happens when matches are made in an order that traps tiles — undo and try again.
If no free tiles match, shuffle rearranges the pictures on the remaining tiles so you have a move again. Use it to escape a dead end.
