Rules, controls and help for Mahjong Connect

Bring this focus to a round

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your goal

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.

Work through the instructions

  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. Look at the feedback after the action.

Try this example

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.

Avoid this misunderstanding

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.
