Mahjong Connect: how a round works
Try Mahjong Connect at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns.

6×8 grid and two-turn path finding.
An idea for your next attempt
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. Notice the feedback after each input.
What you are aiming for
Remove matching tiles connected by a path of at most two turns. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
From the start of a round
- 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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful example
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.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Three corners are invalid. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
