Mahjong Solitaire Unblocked

Mahjong Solitaire borrows the beautiful tiles of the four-player game and turns them into a quiet puzzle for one. The whole 144-tile set is piled up in tiers, and you dismantle it by removing identical pairs. The catch is that you can only lift tiles that are uncovered and open on one side, so a hasty match early on can lock away the very tile you need later. This version, by CTBot000, offers six layouts and guarantees every deal is solvable. It plays unblocked in your browser, with tile art and sounds generated in code.

The Tiles and the Rules

You may take a tile only when nothing rests on it and at least one flank, left or right, is open. Locked tiles look faded. Pick up one free tile, then choose an identical free tile and the pair disappears.

The set breaks down like this:

• Three suits numbered 1 to 9: dots (circles), bamboo sticks and Chinese characters.
• Winds (four kinds) and dragons (three kinds).
• Flower and season tiles, four of each, tagged with a tiny letter in one corner. Any flower matches any other flower, and the same goes for seasons.

Each cleared pair scores 100, plus a little extra for finding the next pair within a few seconds. Help has a price: a hint costs 30, an undo 120 and a shuffle 150. A fast finish earns extra points, and the game records your quickest clear on every board.

Six board shapes are on offer, among them Turtle, Pyramid and Spider, and the menu labels each one with a difficulty.

Clearing More Boards

Read the shape before you play. Spend a few seconds seeing where the tall stacks and long rows are. Those are the parts most likely to trap you.

Free the high ground. Tiles buried under several layers block the most others. Prefer pairs that dig into tall stacks over pairs lying loose on the edges.

Open rows from the ends. The middle of a long row stays locked until its neighbors go, so work inward.

Pick the right pair of four. Each face appears four times. If three copies are free at once, take the two whose removal opens the most new tiles, and leave the one that blocks nothing.

Save the wildcards. Flowers and seasons match within their group, so they make useful emergency moves late in a board.

Watch the open-pairs count. Once it drops to a couple, take your time. A wasted pair at that point often means a shuffle.

Calm Play, Real Choices

It is a relaxed game with no clock pressure unless you chase the time bonus, which makes it great for winding down. Light and dark table themes and a sound toggle let you set the mood. On phones the tiles get small, so landscape or a bigger screen works best. If you like this, try Klondike Solitaire or another tile-matching challenge in Color Tile Match.
