How to play Mahjong Solitaire
Try Mahjong Solitaire at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Look at what changes after your first action. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
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.

Tap two free matching tiles. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
