The difficulty level of this app is for all levels, although most of the levels are for "beginner" to "intermediate."

The rules of the game is simple:
- You are presented with the game board, containing stacked tiles, forming structures such as the so-called "pyramid" or "turtle" solitaire board, and others.
- To win the game, all the tiles much be removed from the board by matching them.
- Tiles can be matched if they have the same face/picture, under the condition that the tile is not blocked.
A tile is not blocked if it can slide to the left, right, or both, and there's no tile above it.
- Sounds simple? Then start playing. But prepare for some challenges, because Mahjong Solitaire is an easy to learn game that can be hard to master. You need to think ahead and chose which tiles to match carefully. Sometimes the best move is the one that will free more matching tiles. Sometime you'll have to try your luck because the tile underneath the matching tile is blocked.
The challenge is to not end up with tile(s) that are not "free," which cause the board to be in unsolvable state. This can occur when all the matching tiles are covered by other tiles or if they can't be moved because there's a tile blocking its sides or covering above it.
