## What is Solitaire Mahjong Online?

Mahjong Solitaire Online - play and compete with other mahjong online players for top score!


Solitaire Mahjong is a fun and competitive take on the ancient Chinese game of Mahjong. Now it’s called Solitaire Mahjong but it’s not actually about playing on your lonesome. Instead you play against other online players in timed one-on-one games. ... It adds a fresh dimension to what is obviously a very old game, so it might just be the puzzle game you are looking for. This app offers Mahjong on internet, so you'll be competing for score with other mahjong internet players.


Several consecutive madjong tile layouts. Select pairs of matching mahjong tiles and they will keep disappearing...

The 144 majong tiles are arranged in a 3-dimentional four-layer pattern. A tile can be played if it can be moved either left or right without touching other tiles. The object in maggong is to match open pairs of matching tiles and remove them while exposing the tiles under them for further play.

The round in madjong is finished when all of the pairs of mahjong tiles have been removed. You can use the 'Shuffle' button to shuffle the tiles up to 5 times.

Mahjong layouts in every round are different and within every layout the setup of individual mahjong tiles is random.

Solitaire Mahjong is also known as Shanghai solitaire, Mahjong solitaire and a single-player mahjong. 
As mahjong has a Chinese origin, there are naturally quite a number of different names and spellings for a game of mahjong: maggong, majong, magong, maggong, ma jong, mah jong, maddong, madgong, mahgong, madjong, mjong, mah-jong, m jong and mah jongg and even mjong. 
Although the word solitaire is not Chinese, in combination with majong, it can be used with different names and spellings such as: mahjong solitare, soliter, solitere, patience, soli, solo, mahjong solo or even mahjong solotaire!

Mahjong solitaire rules are described in the Help section of the game. Mahjong solitare offers visual hints if the tiles are not matched within 15 seconds. This mahjong app also offers to shuffle the tiles when there are no exposed pairs remaining.
