Mahjong Connect: what to know before playing

Practice beyond the first move

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The challenge in front of you

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.

Step by step

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
