EdgekinLearn how to play Mahjong Solitaire by checking two things: do the pictures match, and can both tiles be taken? Use the three-step example, then try the actual practice board below.
The outer tiles A and D match. Both have a free side and nothing on top. The upper tile covers B and C, so neither lower tile is available.

Your island and its collection are waiting in the side panel. Practice boards keep their own progress here.
A tile is available when no other tile covers it and at least one of its left or right sides is open. A visible picture does not necessarily mean a tile is free. The practice board dims blocked tiles so that you can distinguish availability from appearance.
Select two available tiles with the same symbol to remove them. The game uses its visible symbols as the matching rule; it is not the four-player game of Mahjong, and you do not build a winning hand. A pair can be impossible to use when either member is covered or blocked on both sides.
Removing a pair can open a side, uncover a lower tile, or do both. Check the new position before choosing again. In the worked example, removing the outside pair opens the sides of B and C, but the upper tile still covers both. Their pictures are visible, yet neither is available.
When several copies of one symbol are free, compare the pairs before selecting one. Prefer a pair that opens a useful tile or releases a blocked area, but inspect the actual pile rather than treating that as a guarantee. Clearing an easy pair is not always the best way to reach a tile you will need.
Seeing two identical pictures is only half the check. First confirm that each tile is available. If a tile does not respond, inspect what covers it and whether both sides are occupied. Do not mistake a blocked tile for a connection delay.
The board above is the same shared Mahjong practice game used elsewhere on Cozy. Its information button explains the controls and the current goal. Expand it to inspect the pile without changing the puzzle. Free shuffles, when available, keep cleared pairs cleared; the board shows the remaining allowance. Practice needs a connection and keeps its own progress separate from the Edgekin island.
