Mahjong Tips and Tricks

  • Take a moment to examine the layout.

    Before making your first move in Mahjong Solitaire, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the board layout. You will likely spot some strong opening moves. Pay special attention to the locations of the unique Mahjong tiles (Seasons and Flowers) — they can be a great advantage.

  • Look for moves that uncover more tiles.

    Always try to match pairs that reveal the most new tiles. Some pairs don't open up any new possibilities, so it's often best to keep them in reserve and match them later.

  • Found three matching tiles? Think it through!

    If you see three identical, free-to-match tiles, choose a pair that opens up the most new tiles or look for a way to free the fourth one and match all four.

  • Four matching tiles? Don’t miss your chance!

    If you spot four identical, free tiles, you're in luck! Match them right away to maximize your progress.

  • Clear long rows to avoid getting stuck.

    Prioritize matching tiles at the edges of long horizontal rows. Leaving these rows intact can quickly lead to problems.

  • Focus on tall stacks — they hide tricky pairs.

    Tall stacks of tiles should be a key priority in Mahjong Solitaire. Not only are they difficult to dismantle, but they may also contain two identical tiles stacked directly on top of each other. If no matching tiles exist outside the stack, you may find yourself stuck.

  • Don't hesitate to use hints and undo!

    Make the most of TheMahjong.com features like Undo and Hint to enhance your gameplay.
