How to play Mahjong Connect
Take a moment with Mahjong Connect before moving to another game. Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Use the example below to understand a decision. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
6×8 grid and two-turn path finding.
Read before acting
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step
- Select equal tiles.
- The route must cross only empty cells.
- An outside-border path is allowed.
- Open connections by removing pairs.
Controls
Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful 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.
Watch out for this
Three corners are invalid. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
