Classic Mahjong
About Classic Mahjong
Classic Mahjong is a tile-matching puzzle game played with a layout of mahjong tiles stacked in a pattern. You do not need any download, just play in your browser on a phone or computer. The goal is to clear the board by finding and removing matching pairs of tiles until none remain.
How to play Classic Mahjong
Tiles are arranged in layers, and only tiles that are free on at least one side, with no tile on top, can be selected. Look over the layout, find two matching tiles that are both open, and click or tap them to remove the pair. Keep matching open tiles until the whole board is cleared or no more matching pairs are available to select.
Tips for playing Classic Mahjong
- Scan the top layers first, since clearing them frees up tiles underneath and opens new matches.
- Look for pairs in corners and edges of the layout, as those tiles often become blocked later if left too long.
- Before matching a pair, check whether removing it will trap another tile that you still need.
Frequently asked questions
What is the goal of Classic Mahjong?
The goal is to clear all the tiles from the board by matching identical pairs that are free to select, repeating this until the layout is empty.
Do I need to download anything to play Classic Mahjong?
No, Classic Mahjong runs entirely in your browser on a phone or computer, so there is nothing to install.
Which tiles can I match in Classic Mahjong?
You can only match tiles that are open, meaning they have no tile stacked on top and at least one free side, so buried or blocked tiles cannot be selected until they become open.
