Mahjong guide

How to play Mahjong

The rules of Mahjong in plain words, as the app plays them.

The goal

Clear the board by removing matching tiles in pairs. Every board can be cleared.

Free tiles

You can take a tile when nothing is on top of it and its left or right side is open. Blocked tiles are dimmed.

Matching

Tap a free tile, then a free tile that matches it. Most tiles match only an identical tile. Any flower matches any flower, and any season matches any season.

When you’re stuck

Undo takes back as many moves as you like. Hint points out a matching pair, once per board. Shuffle rearranges the tiles left into a board that can still be cleared.

Streaks

Clear boards in a row without shuffling to build a streak. Statistics are kept for each board.
