Mahjong Puzzle: Tile Match

Forget everything you know about pairing up mahjong tiles - this one wants you matching along rows and columns instead, even when there's empty space stretched between them. That twist alone changes how you read the board.

Mahjong Puzzle: Tile Match is a soothing yet brain-teasing tile game where clearing the board means studying every layout before you touch a thing. You spot hidden patterns, plan your next few moves, and slide matching tiles into the same row or column when they don't line up on their own. Click adjacent tiles to lock in a match, and keep going until nothing's left.

Difficulty climbs as you go, so the early boards ease you in while later ones test how sharp your focus really is. It's the kind of puzzle game that relaxes your mind and sharpens it at the same time - a rare combo. If you've enjoyed Mahjong Connect, this puts a fresh spin on tiles you'll want to poke at.

It plays free in the browser on Android, iOS, or desktop, no download needed. Just open it and start clearing.

Clear every tile off the board to win. Click on two tiles that are horizontally or vertically adjacent to match them, and remember that tiles in the same row or column can still match even with empty space sitting between them.

When matching tiles aren't lined up, move one into the same row or column as the other to set up the link. Scan the whole board before you commit to a move - one mistimed match can box you into leftover tiles with no clear path.
