How to play Mahjong Solitaire 3

Mahjong Solitaire 3 is a polished take on the classic tile-matching solitaire. Pair free tiles to clear the board across daily and endless layouts.

How to play

  1. Pair matching tiles

    Tap two identical tiles to remove them from the board.

  2. Only free tiles can be selected

    A tile is free when its left or right edge is open and nothing is stacked on top of it.

  3. Match seasons and flowers loosely

    Any season tile matches any other season, and any flower matches any other flower.

  4. Use undo and shuffle wisely

    Undo lets you back out of a misclick. Shuffle reorders blocked tiles if you run out of moves.

  5. Clear every tile to win

    Remove all 144 tiles to complete the board. Daily layouts are shared, classic boards are randomized.

Tips

  • Peel from the top of the pyramid first to expose buried tiles.
  • If three of four matching tiles are visible, choose the pair that frees the most below.
  • Work the outer edges before the locked center stacks.
  • Don't burn hints early. Save them for when you genuinely run out of options.
