The guide

Overview

Mahjong Connect is a challenging mobile puzzle game that will keep you captivated for hours. There are many levels for players to choose. The more levels, complete difficulty increasing in ascending order.

What it's like to play

Every stage hands you a small, self-contained problem with a clean answer somewhere inside it. Matching three, sliding blocks, connecting pipes, rotating tiles; the mechanics change but the feeling is constant. You test an idea, watch it fail, adjust. Later stages layer two or three rules together so the obvious move is usually the wrong one. It is quiet, methodical play.

How to play

1Read the goal shown at the top of the stage, such as a target score, a shape to fill, or a path to complete.
2Drag or tap to move pieces; try one move and watch what the board does before committing to a plan.
3Count your remaining moves if the game shows them, and save the big combinations for when you need them.
4Use the hint or undo button when offered. There is no penalty on most stages, and it beats staring at the screen.
