FREE MAHJONG SOLITAIRE ā THINK DEEPER, SCORE HIGHER Match tiles. Clear the board. Score more by going deeper. Free Mahjong Solitaire delivers the classic solo tile puzzle you love ā with one extra layer of strategy. Every tile has a point value, and tiles buried deeper in the stack are worth more than surface tiles. The player who clears a path to the bottom doesn't just win ā they dominate the IO counter. AUTHENTIC MAHJONG SOLITAIRE RULES A tile is only selectable when it is FREE ā meaning: Ā· No tile is sitting on top of it (uncovered) Ā· At least two of its four sides (left, right, up, down) are open on the same layer Tap a blocked tile and it shakes ā refused. No guessing, no accidents. Every pick is deliberate. DEPTH-BASED SCORING ā THE RULE THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING Every matching pair earns points. But tiles revealed from deeper in the stack score more than surface tiles. That single rule turns this into a puzzle of priorities: Ā· Grab the easy surface pair right now? Ā· Or clear a path toward the buried high-value tiles? Watch your IO climb ā that question defines every board you play. HINT AND RESET ā BUILT FOR PROGRESS Ā· HINT ā Highlights a valid playable pair instantly. Use it before a blind guess kills your momentum. Ā· RESET ā Redistributes tile symbols across all remaining board positions. Faces change, positions don't ā new matches appear where the board felt dead. No timer. No move limit. No game over. Stuck? Reset. Keep going. ENDLESS LEVELS THAT SCALE WITH YOU Clear every tile ā win the level ā next board waiting. Layouts grow more complex and stacks grow taller as you progress. The game generates levels endlessly ā there is always a harder board ahead.
