Mahjong Connect: learn through an example

Something to practise

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 goal to keep in mind

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

How a round unfolds

  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.

Input guidance

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.

Learn from a sample situation

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.

Notice this detail

Three corners are invalid. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
