THE PLAYBOOK · ZCFYD

Find your footing in Mahjong Connect

Open Mahjong Connect, check the instructions and begin a round. Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Look at what changes after your first action. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Use the example below to understand a decision.

6×8 grid and two-turn path finding.

Something to practise

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.

The purpose of your moves

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Step by step

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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

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. Notice the change in the playing area.

An important reminder

Three corners are invalid. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
