Introduction

Mahjong Solitaire is one of the most popular puzzle variations of the traditional mahjong game. Unlike the four-player tabletop version, this game is designed for a single player. The goal is simple: match pairs of identical tiles to clear the board. Despite its simple rules, Mahjong Solitaire requires strategy, focus, and careful planning.

The Basics of Mahjong Solitaire

Mahjong Solitaire uses the same set of 144 tiles as traditional Mahjong, but they are arranged in layered formations rather than distributed among players.

Objective: Remove all tiles by matching pairs.

Matching Rule: You can only remove tiles that are “free,” meaning they are not covered by another tile and have at least one side (left or right) open.

Game End: The puzzle is completed when all tiles are cleared – or ends unsuccessfully when no more moves are possible.

Playing Mahjong Solitaire in Real Life

Although commonly played digitally, you can also set up Mahjong Solitaire as a physical tabletop puzzle.

Tile Layout: Arrange all 144 Mahjong tiles into the classic “turtle formation” (a pyramid-like structure).

Start the Game: Select two identical free tiles and remove them.

Strategy: Always try to uncover new layers and avoid leaving pairs inaccessible.

Winning: Continue until all tiles are cleared or no moves remain.

Playing Mahjong Solitaire Online

Online platforms have made Mahjong Solitaire extremely accessible. With just a few clicks, you can enjoy different layouts, designs, and difficulty levels.

Advantages:

Instant play, no physical setup needed

Variety of layouts beyond the classic turtle formation

Timed modes for extra challenge

Tips:

Focus on clearing long rows and tall stacks first

Use undo and hint features wisely

Plan two to three moves ahead to avoid dead ends

Strategies for Success

Whether you play in real life or online, a few strategies will greatly improve your chances of winning:

Prioritize unlocking layers – target tiles that free up the most options.

Look for all four matches – avoid splitting pairs too early.

Think ahead – don’t remove pairs too quickly without checking alternatives.

Stay patient – Mahjong Solitaire rewards careful observation over speed.

Conclusion

Mahjong Solitaire combines the cultural charm of Mahjong with the simplicity of a single-player puzzle. In real life, it can be set up with physical tiles, while online versions offer countless layouts and endless replay value. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, Mahjong Solitaire is a timeless way to challenge your mind and relax at the same time.

Fun Fact:

The first Duck Life game was published exactly 2 years before I was born. Duck Life 4 released somewhere in February, my birthday month back in 2012.

The real fact is that the last Mario game on the Wii was Mario Party 9, and it came out March 2, 2012. It makes sense now!

Wow another month another dollar



Lakitu isn't in the way at all I have no idea what you're talking about.

Theebadgeric's reply: It's the time display I think. I can't verify what I was talking about at the time because mkpc takes forever to load and no tracks are loading for me.   T-T   D:

Also you can sort of edit zones by moving the nodes around. It's not perfect but 'erasing' wouldn't really work either.

Theebadgeric's reply: The zones in challenges aren't though (I should've been more specific sorry)

Edit: ok so I just learnt about right clicking wow 27/09 roughly
