About Wonders of Egypt Mahjong
You click a tile, then click its identical twin — if both are free on at least one side, they vanish with a satisfying snap. The board is a pyramid of hand-drawn Egyptian icons: scarabs, ankhs, cat statues. The trick is spotting which tiles are truly free, because a tile can look open but have its sides blocked by a neighbour's edge. We found ourselves stuck on a layout where only one pair was movable at a time — that's the kind of quiet brain-teaser this game delivers. The tutorial layouts ease you in, but the 40 unique layouts ramp up fast. If you like untangling layered puzzles without a timer, you'll enjoy this. If you hate staring at a board hoping for a match, skip it.
Wonders of Egypt Mahjong is a solitaire puzzle game where you match identical tiles to clear them from the board. Each tile must be free on at least one side to be removed. The challenge is figuring out the right order to clear everything while working through 40 unique layouts. When you get stuck, Shuffle, Torch, or Hint can help. It’s satisfying to watch the board empty, and earning stars as you go makes it addictive.
How to Play Wonders of Egypt Mahjong

Tips & Strategies
- Scan the board for tiles that are free on both sides — those are your safest first moves.
- Focus on clearing the topmost layers first to free up tiles buried underneath.
- Use the Hint button only when you've exhausted visible matches; it shows one valid pair.
- The Torch tool can reveal hidden tiles under shadows — use it early to spot blocking pieces.
- Don't rush — a wrong match can trap tiles behind it, so double-check each pair's freedom.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'free on at least one side' mean?
A tile is free if its left or right edge is not touching any other tile. You can only match tiles that have at least one exposed side.
How do I use the Shuffle tool?
Tap the Shuffle button to randomly rearrange all remaining tiles on the board, which can create new matching opportunities.
What does the Torch do?
The Torch removes shadows from stacked tiles, making it easier to see which tiles are free and what they look like.
How many stars can I earn per layout?
You earn up to three stars per layout, likely based on how quickly or with how few hints you clear the board.
Are there any time limits or moves limits?
No, the game is untimed. You can take as long as you need to study the board and plan your moves.
