Clear the board by removing matching pairs of free tiles. There's nothing to download, no account to create and no ads between games. You get 10 layouts, four difficulty levels, a new board every day, unlimited undo, and deals that can always be won, unless you turn off Winnable Mode for fully random ones.
Many sites leave you to find out for yourself which boards are hard. Here, the difficulty levels are measured. We ran thousands of simulated games on every board at every level, and we publish the numbers.
The percentage is how often a bot picking pairs completely at random wins. It isn't what you'll score, since you can think ahead, but it shows how forgiving each level is.

Love Mahjong Solitaire? Try these other solitaire variants on Solitaire Scramble:
A one-player tile matching game. You clear a stacked layout of tiles by removing matching pairs. It uses the same tiles as the four-player game of mahjong, but the rules are completely different, and there are no hands or scoring to learn.
Yes. There are no ads, no download and no account needed. Signing in is optional and just keeps your stats on every device.
Only free tiles. A tile is free when no other tile sits on top of it, even partly, and its left or right side is open. On every level except Expert, free tiles look brighter.
Any flower matches any other flower, and any season matches any other season, even though their pictures differ. A flower never matches a season. Every other tile needs its exact twin.
Yes. Each deal is built backwards from an empty table by placing pairs in free spots, so a winning order always exists. You can still get stuck by removing the wrong pairs, which is what undo and shuffle are for. That's with Winnable Mode on, the default. Turn it off in Settings for fully random deals, where a win isn't guaranteed.
It rearranges the faces of the remaining tiles into a new board that can still be won. You get unlimited shuffles on Easy, three on Medium, one on Hard and none on Expert.
Yes. Press Tab to reach the board, use the arrow keys to move between free tiles and press Space to select. Press S to shuffle, or the question mark key to see every shortcut. Screen readers announce each move.
Every deal has a number. Click it to copy a link, and anyone who opens the link gets exactly the same tiles.
