Classic Mahjong Game

Classic Mahjong Solitaire lays out a pyramid of tiles carved with dots, bamboo stalks, characters, wind and dragon symbols, and asks you to clear the board two tiles at a time. A tile is only clickable once nothing sits on top of it and at least one of its long edges is open, so the real game is reading which pairs are actually reachable, not just spotting which ones match.

Rounds start calm, since the top of the pyramid is wide open, and tighten up fast as you dig toward the base, where matching pairs get buried under everything you already cleared to reach them. This build, made by developer Rafael Odon, keeps the interface plain: a board, a tile counter, and a small set of tools for when you get stuck.

Controls

Play entirely with the mouse or a touchscreen. Click or tap one tile to select it, then click or tap its matching, currently-free partner to remove both. No keyboard is needed.

Tips

• Clear tiles from the edges and corners first — they're usually blocking the fewest neighbors, so an open pair near the border is normally safe to take right away.
• Use Hint before Undo. Hint points out an available pair without costing you a move; Undo only reverses your last pick after you've already committed to it.
• Don't grab the first match you see. Scan the board for a pair that unblocks the most tiles underneath before taking it, since clearing the wrong pair early can bury a partner you need later.
• If you run out of legal moves, use New rather than staring at a dead board — it reshuffles into a fresh, solvable layout.

It suits a slower, puzzle-focused break more than a fast reflex game, and there's a Ranking screen if you want to track your best clears over time.
