About the Turtle layout

The classic Shanghai layout of 144 tiles in five layers — the one most players start their mahjong journey with.

  • Tiles: 144
  • Layers: 5
  • Difficulty: Medium

Tips for this layout

  • Free the tiles on the upper layers and in long rows first — they block the most neighbours.
  • When three identical tiles are open, choose the pair carefully: keep the one that doesn't block anything.
  • Don't rush to remove edge pairs that don't unlock anything — they will be useful later.
