## What is Teahouse?

Teahouse is mahjong solitaire for people who love a real logic puzzle.

Most mahjong games hide the tiles and call the board "guaranteed solvable" — solvable only if you could see every tile and played a perfect line. You can't, so you strand yourself anyway, and then the app sells you a shuffle to escape the dead end it created. Teahouse turns every tile face-up and guarantees a winning line actually exists. The result: no luck, no dead ends — every win is earned.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

• Perfect information — every tile is legible from the first move. Tap any tile to light up its match wherever it hides. Planning replaces guessing.

• Certified solvable — every board is proven winnable under correct play before you ever see it. That's why there's no shuffle button: you never need one.

• Difficulty that's measured — boards are graded by how far ahead you must plan to avoid stranding a tile, not by tile count or a countdown clock.

• Hints that teach — a hint explains WHY a match is safe or fatal (it frees a tile you need, or buries its own pair) instead of gifting a free move to sell an ad.

• Unlimited undo, always free — it's a logic puzzle, not a slot machine.

• A fresh daily board — reproducible on every layout and difficulty, free forever. Build a streak; chase a clean, no-undo line for all three cups.

• A gentle coach — miss the line and it walks back to the exact move that stranded the board, shows the safe pair you missed, and lets you play on.

• Six hand-painted tile sets and several classic layouts — carry the heritage with no language barrier.

FAIR BY DESIGN

• No ads. Anywhere. Ever.
• No shuffles, no energy timers, no dark patterns.
• Free to play a fresh certified board every day. One optional unlock opens unlimited boards and every tile set — a single payment, yours forever.

Pour a cup. Your table is ready.
