About Mahjong Earth
Mahjong Earth is mahjong solitaire with a nature theme. Tiles are stacked in a layout, and you clear the board by finding pairs of identical tiles and removing them. The rule that makes it a puzzle is that a tile can only be taken if it is free: nothing on top of it and at least one long side open.
There are more than 250 layouts, and they grow more intricate as you move through them. A combo meter rewards quick matching, so players who like to push for stars have something to chase, while those who prefer to take their time can ignore it. Top spots on the leaderboard earn boosters.
When a board locks up, three helpers are available. Shuffle rearranges the remaining tiles, Hint points out a pair you missed and Torch gives you one more way out of a tight spot. The earth-toned tiles and gentle soundtrack make it an easy game to settle into.
How to play Mahjong Earth
- Look for two identical tiles that are both free.
- A tile is free when no tile lies on top of it and its left or right side is open.
- Tap the two matching tiles to remove them.
- Match quickly to fill the combo meter and earn stars.
- Clear every tile to finish the layout; use Shuffle, Torch or Hint if you get stuck.
Tips and tricks
- Remove tiles from the tallest stacks and the long rows first. They block the most tiles underneath and beside them.
- When you can see three of the same tile, choose the pair that frees the most new tiles.
- Scan the whole board before each move rather than taking the first pair you spot.
- Keep Shuffle for when no moves remain. Using it early wastes a lifeline.
