Mahjong Tide
What is Mahjong Tide?
Mahjong Tide is a free browser-based Mahjong Solitaire game that pairs classic tile-matching with daily art unlocks. It offers several modes, including an endless Flow mode, a shared Daily Art challenge, a 55-station Journey along the Tokaido road, and Free Play with guaranteed-solvable boards.

Perfect for a quick break—compact Flow boards slide right into a bus ride, and you can always pick it back up later.

Guaranteed-solvable boards are a fair start, but careless moves can still strand tiles—that's the real test of your foresight.

Clearing today's board to unlock the shared artwork feels like a daily episode drop, and the Hiroshige journey is a lovely deep-cut gallery.
How to play Mahjong Tide
Match pairs of free tiles—those not covered and with at least one open long side—to clear the board. Flowers match other flowers and seasons match other seasons, even when the individual pictures differ. Choose pairs carefully to keep the board solvable, and use undo or hints when needed.
Tips & strategy
- Look ahead before removing a pair to see if it exposes tiles you'll need later.
- Prioritize freeing tiles that are trapped or have few open sides.
- Use the undo feature if you suspect a move might strand important tiles.
- In Flow mode, progress is saved automatically, so you can stop and resume anytime.
- For Daily Art, clearing any board size unlocks the artwork, so start with a smaller size if you're short on time.
