Understand which game you are opening
This application is Mahjong Solitaire: one player removes matching free pairs from a stacked layout. The central questions concern tile access, matching faces and the consequences of removing a pair.
A multiplayer table game called Mahjong involves its own rules, hands, turns and regional variations. A Solitaire tutorial should not be treated as a complete guide to those games. The shared visual language of tiles can make the names easy to confuse.

For Dcode, begin with the clear-top and open-side conditions. Learn the difference between Pause and New game, then choose the 144- or 88-tile layout. Those controls are specific to this application.
If you want to learn a table variant later, use a rules source for that exact variant and practise with people who know it. A clear name and a clear ruleset make any game more welcoming. Read this application's rules.
