How to play Mahjong Tower
Mahjong Tower is mahjong solitaire with a tall, narrow stack. More layers means fewer free tiles at a time, so every move matters more than in the classic turtle.
Steps
- A tile is free when nothing sits on top of it and its left or right side is open.
- Click two identical free tiles to remove them.
- Clear the tower completely to win.
- Every deal is generated to be solvable, and Hint, Shuffle and Undo are always available.
Tips that actually help
- Work the top layers off first — a tile under three layers is dead weight.
- Prefer the pair that frees the most new tiles, not the first pair you see.
- Undo is free: use it to test whether a move opens up the board.
What makes the tower different
The classic turtle layout spreads wide, so there are almost always plenty of free tiles. A tower stacks the same 144-tile rules into a narrow, tall shape. Fewer tiles sit on the outside edge, which means fewer free tiles at any moment and a lot more planning.
Who it suits
If the turtle layout feels too easy, the tower is the natural next step. It uses exactly the same rules — nothing new to learn — but punishes careless matching much faster.
One engine, three shapes
The turtle, tower and pyramid layouts on this site all run on the same engine with the same tile set. Switch between them from the buttons above the board without losing your place.
