Fruits Mahjong

Fruits Mahjong poses a question rather than setting a target: how far down the level list can you get. Each board is connected rather than dismantled — two fruit tiles are joined and cleared, and clearing the lot takes you one level deeper. The plain answer for new players covers where those rules come from.

Two buttons sit beside the field and change how it plays. Hint points out a match you have overlooked; Shuffle redeals when the fruit on screen no longer connects to anything. Both are there for the field that has stopped offering moves rather than for the one you simply have not read yet. Olimpian Mahjong keeps the pace of this one.

WillingGames.com renders it at 1280 by 720, a wide frame that puts the entire field in view at once — genuinely useful in a connect game, where the space between two tiles decides whether a match is legal at all. One more board from the same group is Butterfly Kyodai.

1. Find two tiles showing the same fruit somewhere on the wide field.
2. Connect them, provided the space between the two is clear.
3. Clear the whole field to open the next level.
4. Press Hint when a match has escaped you.
5. Press Shuffle when no connection is left to make.

• Use the whole frame — at 1280 by 720 the entire Fruits Mahjong field is visible, so scan before you click.
• Shuffle beats stalling — a field with no legal connection will not resolve itself.
• Hint last, not first — the button is worth more once the obvious matches have been exhausted.
• Chase the level count — the game's own challenge is how deep you can get, so keep a run alive rather than restarting it.
