THE PLAYBOOK · SHENGJIQJ
Getting started with Mahjong Solitaire
Bring your attention to one round of Mahjong Solitaire. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Look at what changes after your first action. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Match number-marked tiles in a compact layered layout. The starting arrangement has a complete removal route, but your choices can still block later pairs.
Try a more deliberate round
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
The purpose of your moves
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The steps to play
- Choose a tile with no covering tile and a free left or right side.

- Use hints or undo.
Input guidance

A closer look at one example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
