Mahjong Solitaire: rules and examples
Try Mahjong Solitaire at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. 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.

Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
Keep this in mind
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
