About Mahjong Link
Mahjong Link is a free online mahjong connect game you can play instantly in your browser. The goal is simple: find pairs of matching tiles and clear the entire board before time runs out. Unlike classic solitaire mahjong, this tile-matching puzzle focuses on linking identical tiles with a clean path—straight lines or paths with up to two turns.
Each round uses a unique board layout drawn from more than 1,000 handcrafted maps, so every game feels fresh. Build combos for bonus points, use hints when you are stuck, and shuffle the remaining tiles to keep the action moving.
