Mahjong Solitaire: Pairtide

Pairtide is a relaxing mahjong solitaire that plays offline, with big easy-to-read tiles, the classic rules and one promise: every deal can be cleared. Match pairs from the traditional 144-tile set until the table is empty.

Some mahjong solitaire games can deal a board with no way out; Pairtide deals every board backwards from a finished table, so a way through always exists, even after a shuffle.

How to Play Mahjong Solitaire
Pairtide follows the classic rules, so there is nothing new to learn.
1. Tap a tile, then tap a matching one to clear both. Dots, bamboo and characters match within their own suit and number; winds and dragons match their own face; any flower matches any flower, and any season matches any season.
2. Only a tile that is not covered, with a clear left or right side, is open to take — the same rule the deal itself is built on.
3. No open pair on the board? Undo always costs nothing, and the first shuffle on every board costs nothing either.
4. Clear every tile to finish the board. Three stars reward a clean run: one for clearing, one for beating the target time, one for using no hints and no shuffles.

Fair Help
Undo never costs anything. The first hint and the first shuffle on every board cost nothing as well; after that, a hint or a shuffle costs a few coins, and the game always asks before spending them. A setting can highlight which tiles are open to take, for whenever the table gets busy.
