Quexu: Optional Solitaire with Mahjong Suits and Numbers

Quexu is an optional way to spend time with the suits and numbers on Mahjong tiles. Its independent solitaire rules use five columns and three foundations to arrange 27 tiles. It does not teach real Mahjong draws, discards, calls or scoring.

Spend a quiet moment with suits and numbers.

How to play

  1. Start with five columns of 4, 4, 4, 4 and 5 tiles, plus six stock tiles. Only the top tiles are face up; turn over one stock tile at a time and recycle the stock when needed.
  2. Build descending runs from 9 toward 1 using different suits. Move a legal face-up run together; an empty column accepts only a 9 or a run headed by a 9.
  3. Collect each suit from 1 through 9 on its foundation. Finish all three foundations to win. Foundation top tiles can move back to the columns.

Select a tile or a legal run, then choose its destination. H requests a hint, Z undoes a move and Esc pauses. Use the in-game buttons to restart the same deal or choose a new one.

Who is it for?

Solitaire fans who want an optional activity with tile suits, numbers and ordering alongside their Mahjong learning.

Questions about this game

Is every Quexu deal solvable?

New games are chosen from 474 openings in a library of 512 fully verified deals. Each fresh deal has a complete solution and starts with a move that reveals or collects a tile. Later choices can still lead to a dead end; use undo or restart to try another route.

Is this the matching-pairs type of Mahjong solitaire?

Quexu is sequence-building solitaire: columns descend with different suits and foundations ascend in one suit. It does not remove matching pairs. For a tile-clearing puzzle, try Mahjong Bloom.
