About Mahjong Classic
Calm and unhurried, Mahjong Classic serves up the solitaire take on the ancient tile game in a traditional, good-looking package. Tiles are stacked into a layout, and you remove them two at a time by pairing identical faces until nothing remains. The rule that keeps it thoughtful is that only free tiles, the ones sitting unblocked on an edge, can be picked.
That restriction turns simple matching into a quiet strategy puzzle. Grab the wrong pair too early and you can bury the partner you need later, so you'll often pause to scan the whole layout before clicking. The soothing backdrop makes it a great way to unwind, and it suits anyone who prefers puzzles that reward patience over speed. Clearing a crowded board one careful match at a time is deeply satisfying, which is why it's easy to start another round straight after.
How to play Mahjong Classic

- Click two identical free tiles to match them and remove them from the board.
- Keep pairing tiles, uncovering new free tiles as the layout shrinks.
- Clear every tile from the board to win.

Tips and tricks
- Prioritize tiles that block the most others, especially those on top of tall stacks.
- When three or four identical tiles are free at once, choose your pair carefully; the leftover might be needed to unlock another area.
- Open up long rows from their ends instead of focusing on a single corner of the layout.
