Mahjong Solitaire — known around the world as Shanghai — is the classic tile-matching puzzle. Pair up identical free tiles, clear them from the board, and work your way down through hundreds of layouts. Easy to learn in thirty seconds, and quietly absorbing for years.
CLASSIC SHANGHAI MAHJONG SOLITAIRE
Traditional rules with the full set of 144 tiles. A tile is free when it has an open side and nothing on top. Match two identical free tiles to remove them, and keep going until the board is empty. No dice, no luck of the draw — just what you can see.
HUNDREDS OF LAYOUTS
From the classic turtle to towers, dragons and pyramids. Each layout changes how the board opens up and which tiles you should clear first.
HINTS, SHUFFLES AND UNDO
Stuck with no moves left? Shuffle the remaining tiles and carry on. Use a hint when you cannot spot the pair, and undo as often as you like. Nothing punishes you for experimenting.
MEET THE LUCKY CAT
A maneki-neko guides you through the boards, collecting coins and unlocking new tile sets as you go. Restore the shrine, gather fortune, and pick up rewards along the way.
TILE SETS AND BACKGROUNDS
Dozens of tile designs and backdrops, from Zen gardens to neon cityscapes. Choose traditional Chinese tiles or something more modern, and change it whenever you like.
RELAX AND TRAIN YOUR BRAIN
Mahjong solitaire is a genuine memory and pattern-recognition workout dressed up as a calm ten minutes. Regular play sharpens focus and visual scanning, and it is one of the least stressful puzzle games there is.
