An introduction to playing Mahjong Connect
Make Mahjong Connect your next activity in the game library. Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Use the example below to understand a decision. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
6×8 grid and two-turn path finding.
One thing to notice as you play
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.
The objective of a round
Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Start here and follow along
- Select equal tiles.
- The route must cross only empty cells.
- An outside-border path is allowed.
- Open connections by removing pairs.
Keyboard and screen controls
Tap pairs; use Hint and Undo. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.
An example before you play
A same-row pair needs an empty route between its endpoints. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.
One detail worth checking
Three corners are invalid. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
