Mahjong Solitaire: Pairtide

Pairtide is a relaxing, offline mahjong solitaire built on one promise: every deal can be cleared. Match pairs of mahjong tiles from the traditional 144-tile set until the table is empty. This big tile mahjong is easy to read, and Pairtide follows the classic rules. Mahjong is also spelled mahjongg.

Big, easy-to-read tiles make this classic game calm on any phone, and every deal is solvable, so a stuck board is never the game's fault. Play the daily challenge, unlock new mahjong layouts and enjoy relaxing tile pairs offline.

Every mahjong board is dealt backwards from a finished table: the game clears an empty layout first and only then hands out the tiles, so a way through always exists. A shuffle rebuilds the board the same way, which is why a shuffled mahjong table can always be cleared too.

How to Play Mahjong Solitaire
Pairtide follows the classic rules, so there is nothing new to learn.
1. Tap a tile, then tap a matching one to clear both. Dots, bamboo and characters match within their own suit and number; winds and dragons match their own face; any flower matches any flower, and any season matches any season.
2. Only a tile that is not covered, with a clear left or right side, is free to take — the same rule the deal itself is built on.
3. No free pair on the board? Undo is always free, and the first shuffle on every board costs nothing either.
4. Clear every tile to finish the board. Three stars reward a clean run: one for clearing, one for beating the target time, one for using no hints and no shuffles.

What Is Inside This Mahjong Game
Everything you could want from a mahjong solitaire, all in one calm app:

• Daily Deal: one board a day, the same for everyone, with a calendar for days you missed, a streak and a trophy for a full month

Fair Help
Undo never costs anything. The first hint and the first shuffle on every board are free too; after that, a hint or a shuffle costs a few coins, and the game always asks before spending them. A setting can highlight which tiles are free to take, for whenever the table gets busy.
