Getting started with Mahjong Connect

6×8 grid and two-turn path finding.
Practice beyond the first move
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. Keep the objective visible.
Aim for this result
Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
The steps to play
- Select equal tiles.
- The route must cross only empty cells.
- An outside-border path is allowed.
- Open connections by removing pairs.
Using the playing area
Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
See the idea in action
A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Three corners are invalid. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
