Mahjong Connect Blast: sliding tiles and forming pairs
Mahjong Connect Blast asks you to clear the board by moving identical tiles into pairs. Move one tile or a group left, right, up or down. The pair disappears automatically when the tiles are adjacent or share a straight line with no other tiles between them.
How to form a pair
Find two identical tiles and inspect their positions. Choose a slide that puts them next to each other or on one unobstructed row or column. Moving a group changes all of its tiles, so look at the whole group before choosing the direction.
This is not the rule used by a two-turn connection puzzle. Do not trace a bent path around the outside of the board. Change the tiles' positions to create adjacency or a clear straight line instead.
What to check after a slide
After a pair disappears, compare the remaining identical tiles again. The empty space may make another horizontal or vertical slide useful. A short plan can start with one pair and then use the space it leaves for another; it is not a guaranteed solution to every layout.
Hints and shuffle
A hint highlights an available pair when you cannot see a move. Shuffle rearranges the tiles when combinations run out.
After using either helper, inspect the current layout again. Find identical tiles and choose a slide that brings them together or onto a clear straight line.
