How to play Mahjong Connect

Try Mahjong Connect at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

6×8 grid and two-turn path finding.

Read before acting

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your goal

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.

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.

Controls

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. Use the control method described here for this activity. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

A useful example

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.

Watch out for this

Three corners are invalid. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
