Mahjong Connect: rules and examples

Read the aim of Mahjong Connect, then make your first move. Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

6×8 grid and two-turn path finding.

Practice beyond the first move

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.

What you are aiming for

Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.

How to proceed

  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.

Keyboard and screen controls

Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

A closer look at one example

A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.

Watch out for this

Three corners are invalid. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
