Mahjong Solitaire: from controls to your first round
Choose a round of Mahjong Solitaire and settle into its rules. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the example below to understand a decision. Read the objective before making your first input. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
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.
