How ranking works
Every board on Mahjong.now is generated solvable, so the leaderboard measures skill, not luck. Two things decide your rank:
- Time is the primary sort - the faster you clear, the higher you place.
- Moves are shown as a tie-breaker and a quality signal: fewer moves means cleaner play with less shuffling and back-tracking.
Play as a guest to post a time, or sign in with Google to keep your streak and best times synced across devices. Every submission is sanity-checked, so impossible times never make the board.
What is a good Mahjong Solitaire time?
Use this ladder as a rough target for a full 144-tile layout like the Turtle:
| Learning | Clearing the layout at all is the win - most first clears run well over 10 minutes. |
|---|---|
| Comfortable | 6 to 10 minutes, matching steadily with a clear plan. |
| Fast | Under 5 minutes - you read blocking chains and rarely pause. |
| Expert | Under 3 minutes on an open layout, matching almost without hesitation. |
Five ways to climb the board
- Uncover before you clear. Prioritize matches that free buried tiles over easy edge pairs that unlock nothing.
- Work the board evenly. Don't strip one side bare - keep free tiles available everywhere so you never stall.
- Remove open foursomes on sight. When all four copies of a tile are free, take both pairs immediately.
- Save Flowers and Seasons. They match within their groups, so keep them as flexible escapes for late jams.
- Learn one layout deeply. Records come from knowing a board cold - pick a favorite and repeat it.
The full rules and strategy guide explains the free-tile rule in detail, the glossary defines every term, and the daily challenge is a great low-pressure way to practice against a shared board.
Prefer a live opponent?
The leaderboard is a race against the clock; multiplayer is a race against a person. You both get the identical layout and the first to clear it wins - the fastest way to sharpen up under real pressure.
