Question

Which picture tiles match?

Community Answer

It depends on the type of game, however the tiles should have an identical picture on them. If you're using cards, they should be identical by number.

Question

It Mahjong Solitaire just a game of chance, or are there some skills I could learn so I would not lose?

Community Answer

It is a game of observation largely. For the sake of actual winning, it is a cross of chance and some strategy. The strategy is to remove the blocks first that you think will open up the greatest number of tiles for you on subsequent turns.

Question

How do I remove a pair of tiles?

Community Answer

Find two "open" tiles ("open" meaning they're not covered on more than one side) that have the same number of picture on them and take them away from the group.

Question

I'm often advised I've run out of moves before I've finished matching. Why?

Community Answer

Although this depends on the particular version of the game you're playing, it may be that there are no more legal moves left to play.
