Mahjong Pairs: a quick tile matching game

Mahjong Pairs is a quick tile matching game you can play free in your browser. There is no download and no account. You clear a small board by matching pairs of identical tiles.
Only free tiles can be matched, and the free ones are drawn bright, so you always see what you can play. If you get stuck, the board shuffles itself, up to three times.
Want the full game, with big tiles and a table that changes with the seasons? Try Seasons Mahjong, our mahjong solitaire.

How to play
- Look for bright tiles. These are the free ones.
- Pick a free tile, then pick a matching free tile to clear the pair. On a keyboard, use the arrows to walk the free tiles and A to pick one.
- Press B (or the B key) if you want a pair found for you.
- If no more pairs are open, the board shuffles itself. You get three shuffles.
- Clear every tile to win.
Keyboard: arrows, A and B. Phone: the on-screen pad.
Tips
- Work from the tallest stacks first. Free up the tiles underneath before the board closes in.
- When you see more than two of a kind, think about which pair uncovers the most new tiles.
- Use the match button when you are stuck on a tricky board.
