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. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

6×8 grid and two-turn path finding.

A careful first round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your goal

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

A useful example

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.

Watch out for this

Three corners are invalid. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
