Moonlight Mahjong

Moonlight Mahjong is classic mahjong solitaire bathed in serene nighttime light — free, unhurried, and played entirely at your own pace. The rules are traditional: tap two matching tiles to remove them, but only tiles that are “free,” meaning nothing covers them and at least one long side is open. The layered layouts hide their difficulty gently; the tiles you want are often pinned beneath ones you ignored, so the game quietly teaches you to work the top layers and outer edges first and to think a few removals ahead. Clear every tile and the board resolves into calm, empty moonlight. There are no timers unless you count your own patience. Free in any browser, desktop or mobile, no download required.
