Mahjong Spider splits the board into two connected plateaus with a shared seam down the middle. Tiles along that seam unlock both halves — prioritize the bridge early.
A quicker layout than Fortress for players who like horizontal scanning.
How to play Mahjong Spider
- Standard mahjong solitaire matching on a two-plateau spider shape.
- Free tiles only; identical pairs remove.
- Match identical tile faces only — both tiles must show the same symbol.
Strategy tips
- Clear the center seam first — it usually blocks the most tiles on both plateaus.
- Do not drain one plateau while the other still has a full top layer — alternate sides to keep options open.
- Spider layouts expose many tiles at once; scan before clicking the first obvious pair.
- If the seam stalls, look for a pair entirely on one plateau that frees a seam tile next.
- Card Spider Solitaire is a different game — find it under Spider Solitaire in our solitaire menu.

Is Mahjong Spider related to Spider Solitaire?
Only in name. This is tile matching; Spider Solitaire is a card game with ten columns and in-suit runs.
