Know the goal in Mahjong Solitaire
Open Mahjong Solitaire, check the instructions and begin a round. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the example below to understand a decision. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
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
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
Understand the aim
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Read that aim before choosing your first action. 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.
Controls
Tap two free matching tiles. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Put the rules into context
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
A useful caution
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
