• Try to remove tile matches that free up the most tiles first.

• Plan ahead as many moves as you can.
• Right click on Magic tiles (listed below) to show a hint.

Magic Tiles

Season and Flower Tiles
Seasons and Flower tiles are unique in the game of Mahjong Solitaire; they are the only tiles that match which are not identical. The four Flowers (Cherry, Orchard, Bamboo and Plum) can be matched with any other Flower tile and the four Seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter) can also be matched with any other Season tile.

Gold Tiles
Matching the Gold tiles wins the layout, and all remaining tiles are removed.

Lock and Key
Click a free Key on any visible Lock to remove both of the tiles from the layout.

Magnets
Click a free Magnet on any visible Mahjong tile to pull that tile to the position of the Magnet.

Joker
Click a free Joker on any visible Mahjong tile to remove ALL of the identical tiles from the layout.

Scoring Points

You are awarded points for each pair of tiles matched. Bonus points are awarded for matching identical tiles back-to-back.
