Can you play Mahjong Solitaire offline?
Mahjong Solitaire is the perfect offline game, and because this site is built as a progressive web app, you can keep playing when the connection drops.
What works offline
Once a layout has loaded, single-player Mahjong runs entirely in your browser, so the Turtle, Pyramid, Fortress, and the rest keep working on a plane or a patchy connection. Your win counts, best times, and in-progress board save to your own device automatically, so nothing is lost when you go offline.
Install it for the best offline experience
Adding Mahjong.now to your home screen, as our mobile guide explains, gives the smoothest offline play. It opens full screen with its own icon and no address bar, behaving like a native app, without the download or the ads that usually come with store apps.
What needs a connection
A few features rely on live data and will not work offline: real-time multiplayer racing, submitting to the shared leaderboard, and syncing stats across devices with an account. The daily challenge loads with a connection, but once open you can finish the board offline.
