Understand the basics of Mahjong Solitaire
Choose a round of Mahjong Solitaire and settle into its rules. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. 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.
Give this approach a try
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.
