How to play Mahjong Connect

Open Mahjong Connect, check the instructions and begin a round. Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Use the example below to understand a decision.

6×8 grid and two-turn path finding.

Build a steady rhythm

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Step by step

1. Select equal tiles.
2. The route must cross only empty cells.
3. An outside-border path is allowed.
4. Open connections by removing pairs.

Controls

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

A useful example

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.

Watch out for this

Three corners are invalid. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
