A Fern Mahjong board in play: classic tiles stacked in layers on a green table, with Undo, Hint and Shuffle buttons

How Fern Mahjong plays

Classic mahjong solitaire, with tiles stacked in layers. A tile is free when nothing lies on top of it and its left or right side is open. Tap a free tile, then a free tile that matches it, and the pair is removed. Clear the board and you are done. There is no losing: when no free pair remains, the game says so and offers a free shuffle that keeps the board winnable.

Every Fern Mahjong board can be won

Boards are built by placing pairs in reverse from an empty layout, so a way to clear each one exists from the start. If you end up with no free pair, the shuffle is free, and it keeps the board winnable.

What Fern Mahjong gives you

Every board can be won

Each board is built so it can be cleared.

Help that is free

Undo back to your last shuffle, show a move, shuffle. All free and unlimited, and never sold.

No timer

No clock on the screen unless you turn one on. There is no score to chase and no way to lose a board.

It never plays for you

Every pair that leaves the board is one you tapped.

Made to be read

High-contrast tiles, larger tile pictures and numbers in the corner, each one a switch in Settings.

A daily board

The same board for everyone each day, with a streak. See where you placed among those who cleared it.

A garden that grows

It grows as you clear boards. Nothing to buy and nothing to collect.

Fully offline, no account

Play anywhere, with no sign-up. Progress is saved after every move, and only the daily list needs a connection.

Ads that keep their word

Only between boards, never during play, never after every board, and they start muted. One purchase removes them for good.
