What Is Tile Match?

Tile Match is a browser-based mahjong solitaire game where you pair up matching tiles to clear the entire board. Drawing inspiration from classic Chinese mahjong and the beloved computer game popularized in the 1980s, Tile Match brings beautifully designed tiles and strategic depth to your fingertips — no download required.

Each game presents a carefully arranged stack of tiles with intricate symbols: bamboo, characters, circles, winds, dragons, flowers, and seasons. Your goal is to remove all tiles by selecting identical pairs, but with one important rule: a tile is only selectable if it has at least one free side (left or right) and nothing stacked on top of it.

How It Works

Select any free tile by clicking or tapping it — a free tile glows when you hover. Then click its match to remove the pair. Work your way through the stack, uncovering tiles below. Use the Undo button to reverse up to three moves, Shuffle to rearrange remaining tiles when stuck (2 uses), and Hint to highlight a valid pair when you can't spot one.

Four unique layouts keep the game fresh: the beginner-friendly Classic Pyramid with 72 tiles, the intermediate Cross with 96, the Turtle with 108, and the expert Fortress with 144 tiles — a real challenge to clear completely.

"Mahjong solitaire was first created as a computer game in 1981, though mahjong itself dates back to the 1800s."

Frequently Asked Questions

Which tiles can I select?

Only tiles with at least one free long edge (left or right) and no tile stacked on top. Free tiles glow faintly when you hover over them.

Is every layout solvable?

Layouts are generated to be solvable, but the order you remove tiles matters. If you get stuck, use the shuffle button to rearrange remaining tiles.
