An introduction to playing Mahjong Connect

Practice beyond the first move

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.

Aim for this result

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

A walkthrough of the rules

  1. Select equal tiles.
  2. The route must cross only empty cells.
  3. An outside-border path is allowed.
  4. Open connections by removing pairs.

How to interact with the game

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. Use the control method described here for this activity. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Work through an example

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.

Watch out for this

Three corners are invalid. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
