What it is

Foony Mahjong Solitaire is a free, first-party browser tile-matching puzzle (mahjong solitaire / Shanghai-style) built by the multi-game site Foony. It offers 25 hand-built boards, a flat-grid Mahjong Connect mode (pairs join with a line of up to three straight segments), and rooms where everyone plays the same live board — either racing for points or clearing it together in Co-op. It is a side game that borrows the 144-tile set; it is not four-player table mahjong.

Who it’s for

Players who want a quick solo mahjong puzzle, a Connect-style (Shisen-Sho-like) grid variant, or a cooperative board to clear with family or friends, all without signing up. Existing side-game listings on disk are mostly solo solitaire portals or apps (Arkadium, Brainium, MobilityWare, Microsoft, Solitaire Bliss, The Mahjong, MahjongSolitaireOnline, Mahjong Online, PlayBoardGames, Mahjong City, Mahjong.now, etc.).

Why it’s listed

The plaza needs a new side-game slot with a first-party URL that differs in kind from recent picks: Monday’s Mahjong.now (11 layouts, daily challenge, live races), Friday’s Mahjong City (30 city layouts), Thursday’s PlayBoardGames (102 layouts), and Wednesday’s Titans-style Mahjong Online. Foony’s distinguishing features are the Connect pathfinding variant and co-op shared-board play with up to 1,000 players per room.

Five deal the full 144-tile set (Turtle, Dragon, Cat, Spider, Pagoda); none dips below 80 tiles; the six-layer Tower is the deepest stack.

Notes

Mahjong solitaire / Connect puzzle, not four-player table mahjong. Don’t confuse with Home games multiplayer clients.
Foony is a multi-game site (chess, pool, cards, etc.); this listing covers only its mahjong solitaire and Connect game.
Deferred in the Fri Oct 2 and Mon Oct 5 ships as a side-game alternate; used here for the Connect + co-op angle.

FAQ

Q: Is Foony Mahjong Solitaire free, and do I need an account?
A: On 2026-10-06 the FAQ said it is free and loads straight into a game with no account required; signing up only adds progress, leaderboards, achievements and cosmetics.

Q: Can every board be cleared?
A: The page said every deal is generated by simulating a winning game in reverse, so a path to a full clear exists at the start, and the shuffle re-deals into a new solvable arrangement if you get stuck.

Q: Can I play with friends?
A: Yes. Create a room and share the invite link; everyone sees the same live board. Race mode scores each pair you take, and Co-op lets the table clear the board together. Rooms hold 1 to 1,000 players.
