Can I play Mahjong on mobile?
Mahjong.now is designed touch-first, so the mobile experience is not an afterthought. It is the same full game, sized for your screen.
Touch controls
On a phone or tablet, tap a free tile to select it, then tap its match to remove the pair. The board scales to your screen so tiles stay large enough to read and press, and you can pinch or zoom on the tightest layouts to see every corner clearly.
Install it like an app
Because Mahjong.now is a progressive web app, your browser can add it to your home screen. It then opens full screen with its own icon and no address bar, behaving like a native app, without the download, the account, or the ads that usually come with store apps.
Your progress follows you
Stats and unfinished games save to your device automatically, and once loaded you can even keep playing offline. Sign in with a free account and your records sync, so a game recorded on your laptop shows up on your phone too.
Related questions
Is Mahjong.now free?
Completely free. Every layout, the daily challenge, the leaderboard, and online multiplayer are free to play in your browser, with no download and no signup. An optional free account only adds cross-device stats and a saved name on the leaderboard.
Do I need an account to play?
No. Everything is playable as a guest, and your stats save in your browser automatically. A free account is optional: it syncs your records across devices and keeps a permanent name on the leaderboard, but you never need one to play a single tile.
Can you play Mahjong Solitaire offline?
Yes, mostly. Because Mahjong.now is a progressive web app, single-player layouts keep working offline once the page has loaded, and your stats save on your device. Only features that need live data, like multiplayer racing and the shared leaderboard, require a connection.
How are my stats and progress saved?
As a guest, your stats and unfinished board save automatically in your browser on the device you are using, no signup needed. A free account adds cross-device syncing, so your win counts, best times, and records follow you between phone, tablet, and computer.
