About Mahjong Link
Mahjong Link is a fast matching puzzle with one important rule: identical tiles only disappear when an open path can connect them. Scan the board, link a clear pair, and use that extra space to unlock the next layer before time expires.

Open the board one pair at a time
The first visible match is not always the best move. A pair near the outside can free several paths at once, while a pair in the middle may trap useful tiles behind it. Look for exposed edges and take note of tiles that have only one possible partner.
When the board looks crowded, stop searching everywhere. Choose one corner, clear its available pairs, then rescan from the new open space.
Matching tips
- Start at the edges: Outer pairs are most likely to create new linking routes.
- Save rare tiles: Do not block the only visible partner for an unusual symbol.
- Clear in sections: Finishing a small zone makes the rest of the board easier to read.
