Know the goal in Mahjong Solitaire

Start Mahjong Solitaire by looking at the playing area and its controls. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
