About Mahjong Solitaire Zodiac
Mahjong Solitaire Zodiac is tile-matching mahjong solitaire: a layered board of tiles that you take apart two at a time until nothing is left. Only open tiles can be matched. A tile counts as open when nothing rests on it and either its left or its right side has no neighbour pressed against it.
Find two identical open tiles, select both, and they leave the board together. The real puzzle is the order in which you remove them. Each pair you take can uncover new tiles or leave others trapped, so a careless match early on can block a pair you will need later. The pace is relaxed and there is no rush built into the rules, which suits calm sessions on the go. Newcomers only need to learn the open-tile rule, while experienced players get their challenge from planning the sequence of removals.

How to play Mahjong Solitaire Zodiac
Objective
Clear every tile from the board by matching pairs of identical open tiles, choosing an order that keeps future pairs reachable.
Controls
Mobile
- Tap two matching open tiles: remove them from the board
Getting started
- Scan the board for tiles that are open, with nothing resting on them and a clear left or right edge.
- Among those open tiles, look for two that are identical to each other.
- Tap both matching tiles to remove them from the board as a pair.
- Check which new tiles have opened up after each removal before choosing the following pair.
- Keep matching and removing pairs until the whole board has been cleared.
Tips
- When more than two identical tiles are open at once, take the pair whose removal uncovers the most tiles underneath or beside them.
- Work on tall stacks early, since a tile buried under others cannot be matched until everything on top of it has gone.
- Open long rows from their ends, because a tile wedged between neighbours on both sides stays blocked until one of them is removed.

Mahjong Solitaire Zodiac FAQ
What makes a tile open in Mahjong Solitaire Zodiac?
A tile is open if nothing is stacked above it and its left or right edge has no neighbour touching it. Only open tiles can be matched, so blocked tiles have to wait until the tiles around them are cleared.
How do you remove tiles from the board?
Select a pair of identical open tiles with a tap on each, and both disappear from the board. Keep finding identical open pairs and repeat until the board is completely empty, which completes the puzzle.
Is Mahjong Solitaire Zodiac good for beginners?
Yes. The only rule to learn is how to spot open tiles and match identical pairs, and the relaxed pace leaves room to think. Experienced players still get satisfying puzzles from planning the order of removals.
