FREE MAHJONG SOLITAIRE — 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 — 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 — they dominate the IO counter. AUTHENTIC MAHJONG SOLITAIRE RULES A tile is only selectable when it is FREE — meaning: · No tile is sitting on top of it (uncovered) · At least two of its four sides (left, right, up, down) are open on the same layer Tap a blocked tile and it shakes — refused. No guessing, no accidents. Every pick is deliberate. DEPTH-BASED SCORING — 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: · Grab the easy surface pair right now? · Or clear a path toward the buried high-value tiles? Watch your IO climb — that question defines every board you play. HINT AND RESET — BUILT FOR PROGRESS · HINT — Highlights a valid playable pair instantly. Use it before a blind guess kills your momentum. · RESET — Redistributes tile symbols across all remaining board positions. Faces change, positions don't — 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 → win the level → next board waiting. Layouts grow more complex and stacks grow taller as you progress. The game generates levels endlessly — there is always a harder board ahead. EVERYTHING THIS PUZZLE PLAYER WANTS · Hint and Reset prevent dead ends without penalizing you · No timer, no move limit — pure puzzle focus at your own pace · Satisfying tile-clearing feedback on every successful match · Perfect for short sessions or long relaxing play MADE FOR FANS OF Mahjong Epic · Microsoft Mahjong · Mahjong Classic · Mahjong Solitaire Guru · Shanghai Mahjong · Mahjong Trails · Mahjong Master Download free Mahjong Solitaire now — and see how high your IO can go.

Every case gives you the floor plan of a place and the suspects' statements. Each statement only says where someone stood: "She was next to the fireplace." "She was south of Editha." "He was petting a dog." You place every suspect on a square. Nobody shares a row or column with anyone else, nobody stands on an occupied square, and the rest follows from the statements. In the end exactly one arrangement remains, and one suspect stands alone with the victim in a room. That is the culprit. Every case has exactly one solution, and you can reach it without guessing. For every step there is a card you can point at. If you are stuck, you are missing a deduction, not luck. The Castle file is completely free, all 80 cases of it. After that come the Wild West, the Pirate Ship and the Flower Village, each world with its own 80 cases as a single purchase, Season 1 also as a bundle. Eight bonus cases can be played beforehand. The boards grow from six by six squares with five suspects to ten by ten with nine. While solving, you get a pencil for notes, crosses that fill in as you place people, a ghost mode for uncertain candidates, and hints. The app shows ads: a banner below the board and optional videos for hints and helpers. Any purchase removes the banner. There is no subscription and no energy mechanic. The app needs no account and no internet connection, purchased content also lives on the device. Languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese.
