Mahjong Connect: learn through an example

A small practice goal

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What you are aiming for

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

From the start of a round

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

Work through an example

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.

Keep this in mind

Three corners are invalid. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
