Mahjong Solitaire

Mahjong solitaire is a matching game, not the four-player table game. Remove free identical pairs. A tile is free when nothing sits on it and it can slide left or right. Tilehaus uses a three-layer temple of the 136-tile suit-and-honor set.

Is mahjong solitaire the same as mahjong?
No. Mahjong solitaire is a matching puzzle that reuses mahjong tile faces. Four-player mahjong is a draw-and-discard game where you build pongs, chows, and a pair. Winning at solitaire does not teach you how to hu.
How do you play mahjong solitaire?
Clear the layout by matching two free tiles with the same face. A tile is free when nothing sits on it and at least one side — left or right — can slide out. Tap Hint to pulse one free pair. You win when every pair is gone; you lose when no free matching pair remains.
What makes a tile free in mahjong solitaire?
Two conditions: the tile is not covered, even partly, and at least one of its left or right edges is open. A tile boxed in on both sides is blocked even if the top is clear.
Why is mahjong solitaire also called Shanghai?
Activision’s Shanghai (1986) popularized the computer turtle layout. People still search “Shanghai solitaire” for the same matching game. Tilehaus uses a three-layer temple of the 136-tile suit-and-honor set.
Are mahjong solitaire boards always solvable?

How many tiles are in mahjong solitaire?
Classic computer layouts use 144 tiles (the full set with flowers and seasons). Tilehaus deals 136 suit-and-honor tiles in a three-layer temple — the same faces as the four-player teaching wall, without bonus tiles.

What is the best strategy for mahjong solitaire?
Count copies: each face appears four times. Matching two of three free copies can bury the fourth. Prefer pairs that unlock a covered column, and clear the top layer before you spend scarce honors.
