Mahjong Solitaire
A one-player tile-matching puzzle where every board can be solved
Match free pairs of mahjong tiles and clear the stack. Four layouts, a shared daily puzzle, hints and undo, and every deal is guaranteed solvable.
Features
Always solvable
Boards are built backwards from a real solution, and a shuffle keeps them solvable.
Daily puzzle
Everyone gets the same board each day, with a result you can share without spoiling it.
Four layouts
Turtle, Pyramid, Tower and Little Garden, from 144 tiles in five layers down to 72 in two.
Hints and undo
A hint lights up a pair that keeps the board solvable, and undo has no limit.
How it works
- 1
Look at the stack
All tiles start face up in layers; bright tiles are free and dimmed ones are blocked.
- 2
Match two free tiles
Tap two identical free tiles to remove them; any two flowers or any two seasons also match.
- 3
Clear the board
Keep pairing until no tile is left, shuffling the rest if you run out of moves.
About the game
Mahjong Solitaire is a quiet tile-matching puzzle for one player. A full 144-tile set is piled in layers. A tile is free when nothing sits on top of it and its left or right side is open, and you remove free tiles in identical pairs until the stack is gone. Most tiles need an exact twin, but any two of the four flowers match each other, as do any two of the four seasons. It shares its tiles with mahjong but none of its rules, so it suits anyone who enjoys a calm puzzle.
What makes it different
Many solitaire games deal tiles at random, which means some boards cannot be finished. Seriauth’s version builds each board in reverse: starting from a full layout, it repeatedly picks two positions that are free at that moment and assigns them a pair, so playing the sequence forward is a guaranteed solution. The shuffle uses the same method, so a reshuffled board is still solvable. Hints come from a solver and only suggest pairs that keep the board winnable.
There are four layouts: the classic five-layer Turtle, a six-layer Pyramid, a tall Tower that fits a phone held upright, and a gentle two-layer Little Garden. A daily puzzle rotates layouts and gives everyone in the world the same board, with share text that reports your time without revealing the deal. Results are stored on your device, and short guides cover strategy, the layouts and the game’s history.
FAQ
When is a tile free?
When nothing lies on top of it, even partly, and it can slide out to the left or to the right.
Can a board be impossible?
No. Every deal is constructed from a known solution, and the shuffle uses the same method, so there is always a way to clear it.
Do I need to know mahjong rules?
No. You only match identical tiles. Playing is an easy way to learn what the tiles look like.
Does it work offline?
Once loaded it keeps working offline, and it can be installed to your home screen.
