How to play

Mahjong Tile Match gameplay screenshot
  • Tap an uncovered (bright) tile on the board to drop it into the 7-slot tray below. Three identical tiles in the tray clear together.
  • If the tray holds 7 tiles without a set of three, you lose and can retry the level. Clear the board to pass and move on to the next level.
  • Tiles are stacked in layers, and upper tiles cover lower ones. Check which tiles you can take and which are still covered before you fill the tray with tiles that do not match.
  • Each level gives one use of three tools: Undo (put back the tile you just took), Move out (shift 3 tray tiles up to the holding row) and Shuffle (reassign the tiles on the board; it stays solvable).
  • Every level is guaranteed to be solvable; later levels have more tiles, more kinds and more layers. Progress is saved in this browser so you can continue next time.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do when the tray is almost full?

The tray has 7 slots, and you lose if it fills up without a set of three. First take tiles that complete a set with tiles already in the tray. If the tile you still need is buried, use Move out to shift the 3 leftmost tray tiles up to the holding row and free up space, then tap them back when you need them.
