Mahjong Bay Makes Every Deal Solvable
A browser-based mahjong solitaire game with three layouts, unlimited undo, hints, reshuffling, and no account or download.
- For
- Mahjong solitaire players who dislike unsolvable boards
- Worth noticing
- Deals are generated backwards from a cleared layout, guaranteeing at least one solution before moves begin.
Field notes
Mahjong Bay uses a reverse-construction method: it begins with the full arrangement, assigns matching pairs to positions that can be freed, and rebuilds the playable deal. That guarantees a solution exists, although a player can still create a dead end by choosing poorly among three or four available identical tiles. The site includes a 144-tile, five-layer Turtle board, a 72-tile Harbor board, and a narrow Three Sails layout intended for upright phones.
