Spot the patterns Mahjong is a tricky puzzle game. There are so many tiles, many of which look the same but feature slight differences. Along with the need to spot these patterns, you can’t move any pieces with both sides blocked. The left or right side needs to be accessible at least. Use hints when you’re stuck Mahjongg Solitaire features hints if you get stuck, but there is no shuffle feature like some other mahjong games. The games are also timed, meaning there is some urgency to how many tiles you can match. When the game ends, you’ll get a score for the tiles you matched, and a bonus for how far you got in the game before your time ran out. Tile groups Mahjongg Solitaire features 144 tiles divided primarily into three suits. The primary suits are: Dots - feature circles Bamboo - feature lines Characters - feature Chinese characters In Mahjongg Solitaire, you’ll also notice special tiles that can be matched even without the same image. These are highlighted in blue or green.
