Know the goal in Mahjong Connect

The objective of a round

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

The playing sequence

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.

Making selections and moves

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use one clear input at a time.

See how the rules apply

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Check this before moving on

Three corners are invalid. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
