› Playing Mahjongg » Since each tile layout requires a different approach, there is no one universal strategy. However, there are some strategy tips to keep in mind while you play:
The general strategy is to keep removing matching tiles in such a way that each removed tile will expose further tiles. A good strategy would be to expose new tiles with every set of tiles you match and eliminate.
Choosing easily accessible tiles, such as those from the top levels, is not beneficial. This strategy leaves essential tiles under cover, increasing your chances of losing the game.
Since you are scored by how quickly you finish the game, time is the most important factor in the game. It is therefore important to be fast.
Using the hint option adds a 30-second penalty to your time.
Shuffling tiles adds a 60-second penalty to your time.
