Mahjong Connect: rules and examples

One thing to notice as you play

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

What you need to achieve

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.

Follow the example

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.

An important reminder

Three corners are invalid. Check the rule before repeating the action. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
