Mahjong Firefly

Step 1 — Understand Your Goal Your objective is to clear the entire board by matching and removing identical tiles. Study the layout carefully before making your first move. Step 2 — Select Only "Free" Tiles You can only select tiles that are "free" — meaning they are not covered by another tile and have at least one open side (left or right). Plan your moves strategically to avoid getting stuck. Step 3 — Match Identical Tiles Click or tap on a free tile to select it, then find its identical match elsewhere on the board. When you match two identical tiles, they disappear. Step 4 — Use Special Power Tiles As you play, you'll encounter special tiles that give you an edge: Firefly Tile — Reshuffles the board when you're stuck Sandglass Tile — Adds extra time to the clock Freeze Tile — Temporarily pauses the timer Step 5 — Beat the Clock Each level comes with a time limit — typically 7 minutes. Work quickly but carefully to clear the board before time runs out. Matching bonus time tiles can extend your clock. Step 6 — Progress Through Levels Each successfully cleared board unlocks the next level. As you advance, the puzzles become more intricate, the layouts more challenging, and the rewards more satisfying.

A steady, thoughtful approach wins the game
