Mahjong Solitaire

Mahjong Solitaire is the timeless single-player tile-matching puzzle that millions play every day to relax, focus and sharpen their memory. The board starts stacked with 144 traditional Mahjong tiles arranged in a layout such as the classic Turtle. Your goal is to remove every tile by matching identical pairs that are free to pick up. It sounds simple, but tiles buried under others or locked between neighbors force you to plan ahead, and one careless match can leave the board unsolvable. This free online version on Funje offers multiple layouts, difficulty levels, hints, shuffle, undo and a timer, all in your browser with no download or sign-up. Play a quick five-minute round on your phone or settle in for a long session on desktop.

How to Play Mahjong Solitaire

  1. Look for two identical tiles that are both free. A tile is free when nothing sits on top of it and at least its left or right side is open.
  2. Click or tap the first tile, then the matching tile, to remove the pair.
  3. Season tiles match any other Season tile, and Flower tiles match any other Flower tile.
  4. Keep matching pairs until the board is empty. Clearing every tile wins the round.
  5. If no moves remain, use a shuffle or undo, or start a new layout.

Mahjong Solitaire Tips

  • Clear the tallest stacks first. Tiles on top block the most moves underneath.
  • Work from the long rows outward. Freeing the ends of a row unlocks the middle.
  • When four identical tiles are all free, match them in the order that unblocks the most.
  • Do not match the first pair you see. Check what each removal opens up before committing.
  • Save hints for moments when you suspect the board is stuck, not for easy matches.
