I'm not sure where this goes to be asked.

I have yet to be able to get past the third level of this game. I know the game boards are random but does anyone have any tips for how they got past this stage?

Thanks.

I love that game, but I've only got ONTO the third level twice. So, nope, no tips!

Hmm, I don't know. That is a hard level. I try to have a full set of "you're stuck now, lets reshuffle" so you'll last longer. I.e. try not to use the hints at all in the previous levels.

Then just think ahead with some of the moves to see if doing them will open up other match ups, but yeah, I don't know.

I really didn't get this game the first few times I played it but then something clicked at I play it several times a week now and have done for a while. I like it.

Oh also for me, turning the music off is crucial, I can't concentrate with it droning on. Normal music helps as background, but that's all depending on the person I guess.

I'll preface this to say I'm addicted to Mahjong Connect.

I almost always get to the third level and about 25% of the time make it to the 4th. I get to the 5th about 5% of the time. I've gotten as far as the 7th.

Don't use your hints on the first 2 levels. Level 3 eats them up pretty quick. The more hints you have at the end of each level, the greater the odds that you'll get further.

The pattern to 3 that I use is this: do the ones on the far right first. Then along the bottom and up along the right side. Then do the same for the top. Then go into the middle and pick out pairs going from right to left. Do the far left side last. If you get all of them this way, you'll have your first shuffle then. Repeat the pattern after each shuffle.

Fourth level goes top down. Fifth level goes bottom up. Sixth level goes left to right. 7th level goes in from all sides - that was pretty wild the one and only time I made it that far.

I totally agree about turning the music off -- in fact, I find it's best to mute the sound entirely, so you don't get those squawks when you match, either.

Great tips, thanks!

I never play with the music on, it's pretty annoying.
