Mahjong Connect
Link matching tiles with a line of no more than two turns
A Shisen-Sho style puzzle: join two identical mahjong tiles with a path of at most two turns. Three sizes, a daily board, every board solvable.
Features
Two-turn paths
Tiles match when a line of up to three straight segments joins them through empty cells.
Solver-checked boards
Each board is verified solvable before you see it, and reshuffles stay solvable too.
Daily board
One 12×7 board for the whole world, changing at midnight UTC, with a shareable result.
Three sizes
Small 10×6, Medium 12×7 or Large 16×9 with all 144 tiles; the board rotates on upright phones.
How it works
- 1
Pick a tile
Tap any tile and it lights up while you look for its twin.
- 2
Link its twin
Tap an identical tile; if a path with at most two turns connects them, the pair disappears.
- 3
Clear the board
Remove every pair to win; your time is saved and the daily board gives you a result to share.
About the game
Mahjong Connect follows the rules of Shisen-Sho, a tile puzzle that is popular across East Asia. Tiles lie face up on a flat grid. You remove them in identical pairs, but only if the two can be joined by a line made of no more than three straight segments, meaning at most two turns. The line may only pass through empty cells, though it can run around the outside edge of the board. As pairs disappear, new paths open up, and the challenge lies in clearing tiles in an order that does not trap the last pairs.
What makes it different
Random deals in this kind of game are often impossible to finish. Seriauth’s engine runs a solver on every board before it is shown, reshuffles with the same random sequence until a solution exists, and does the same when a player gets stuck, so every board can be cleared. The solver also drives the hint button, which only suggests a pair that keeps the board winnable. Undo takes back your last pair.
There are three sizes for free play, from a quick 10×6 board to a 16×9 board that uses all 144 tiles, plus a daily 12×7 board shared by everyone. Best times and streaks stay on your device, and the daily result can be shared without giving away the board. Short pages explain the rules, tips for faster clears and how the game compares with solitaire.
FAQ
Can the line go around the outside of the board?
Yes. The path may run through empty cells and around the outer edge, as long as it has no more than two turns.
What happens if no moves are left?
The remaining tiles are reshuffled automatically, and the new layout can always be finished.
How is this different from Mahjong Solitaire?
Connect uses a flat grid and needs a clear path between tiles, while Solitaire stacks tiles in layers and only frees the ones at the edges.
Do flowers and seasons match?
Yes. Any two of the four seasons match, and so do any two of the four flowers.
