Free Mahjong Solitaire Online
Take a quiet break with our free Mahjong Solitaire. The board is a small stack of tiles, each with a gentle illustration: a flower, a shell, a teacup, a sailboat and more. Your only task is to find two matching tiles that are open and tap them. Pair by pair, the stack gets smaller until the board is clear. Every new game chooses its pictures from a collection of 36 soft drawings, so each game looks a little different.
There is no timer and no score. Choose a board size that suits your mood, then relax and look for the next pair.
How to Play Mahjong Solitaire
Mahjong Solitaire is a matching game for one player. You remove tiles in pairs, but only tiles that are open can be chosen.
- Choose Small, Medium, or Large. A new game starts as soon as you pick a size.
- Look for open tiles. A tile is open when nothing lies on top of it and its left or right side is clear. Blocked tiles are softly dimmed, so the open ones stand out.
- Tap two open tiles with the same picture. Both tiles disappear, and the tiles they were covering or blocking may open up.
- Clear the whole board. Use “Hint” if you can't see a pair, and “Undo” to take back a move.
Matching a Pair
Tap one open tile, then its match. Both tiles are cleared.
Open and Blocked Tiles
Dimmed tiles are blocked. Clearing a pair opens the tiles next to it or under it.
Three Board Sizes
Pick a quick round or a longer, more absorbing one. The rules are the same on every size.
- Small – 36 tiles: A short game with nine different pictures. Ideal for a few spare minutes or for learning how the game works.
- Medium – 72 tiles: A comfortable board with eighteen different pictures. A good choice for a relaxed break.
- Large – 144 tiles: The full-size game with more layers to uncover. On a computer it uses the classic turtle shape.
On a phone the board automatically takes an upright shape, so the tiles stay large enough to tap comfortably.
A Gentle Mahjong Game Without Pressure
Many mahjong games use a countdown, a score and tiles with small symbols that are hard to tell apart. This one is made for relaxing. The pictures are simple and clearly different from each other, and nothing rushes you.
- Every game can be finished. Each board is arranged so that all the tiles can be cleared.
- You never get stuck. If no open pair is left, the remaining tiles are shuffled for you and you simply carry on.
- Help is always there. “Hint” shows a pair, “Undo” takes back as many moves as you like, and “Shuffle” gives you a fresh arrangement.
“Hint” lights up a matching pair, and “Undo” takes back a move.

Mahjong Solitaire – Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Mahjong Solitaire free?
Yes. You can play for free in your web browser without registering or downloading an app.
Which tiles can I match?
You can match two tiles with the same picture when both are open. A tile is open when no tile lies on top of it and at least one of its sides, left or right, is clear.

The game shuffles the remaining tiles for you, so there is always a way to continue. You can also press “Shuffle” yourself at any time.
