- Flowers match any flower, and seasons match any season.
- Use Hint to reveal a valid pair, Undo to take back a match, or Shuffle when stuck.
- Clear all the tiles to win — faster times rank higher.
Mahjong — frequently asked questions
- How do you play Mahjong Solitaire?
- Match identical free tiles two at a time to remove them. A tile is free when no tile covers it and either its left or right edge is open. Flowers match any flower and seasons match any season. Clear every tile from the layout to win.
- Is every Mahjong deal solvable?
- Yes. Each board is built by placing matching pairs into positions that are free as the board fills, so at least one full solution always exists. If you dead-end, use Undo, Hint or Shuffle to keep going.
- Is Mahjong free to play?
- Yes. Mahjong on Nexxa Games is free in your browser with no download and no login, across easy, medium and hard layouts.
