HOW TO PLAY
Three steps to a clear board.
Make a pair
Remove two free tiles with matching faces. Any two flower tiles also match, as do any two season tiles.
Clear the board
Remove every tile to finish. The order of your choices opens up the layers underneath.
A LITTLE HELP
A little help when you need it.
Hint & undo
Find a currently available pair or undo a normal pair removal. You can also restart the stage.
Reveal
Temporarily highlight a chosen tile type, including tiles hidden beneath other layers.
Pair removal & shuffle
Use your items to remove a chosen pair or rearrange the faces of the remaining tiles.
Reveal, pair removal, and shuffle consume items from your inventory. Hints show a currently available pair; they do not guarantee that subsequent moves will clear the board.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know mahjong?
No. There are no winning hands or points to calculate. The tutorial explains which tiles are free and how to match pairs.
Is this a multiplayer game?
No. It is single-player mahjong solitaire, without competitive play, leaderboards, or account registration.
Are there ads or in-app purchases?
Android includes ads: a full-screen ad after each completed Mahjong match, and when leaving the results after every four main-stage Shanghai clears. Repeated clears count; study puzzles do not. Optional rewarded ads on the Mahjong home screen grant one starting-hand assistance ticket for free matches when the reward condition is met. Ads are skipped when offline or unavailable. The iOS version does not include ads. There are no in-app purchases.
Can I transfer progress to another device?
The app does not provide cloud sync or a data-transfer feature. Recovery of progress and items after reinstallation or a device change is not guaranteed.
