What it is
TrySolitaire Mahjong is a first-party browser solitaire / tile-matching puzzle: match free identical pairs and clear a stacked layout. It is not 4-player mahjong — not American Mah Jongg (NMJL card), not Japanese Riichi, not Chinese table play.
Who it’s for
People who want a free, no-sign-up Mahjong Solitaire (Shanghai-style) puzzle in the browser, with many layouts and daily challenges. Not players looking for a live 4-player table.
Why it’s listed
Plaza needs a clearly labeled solitaire / tile-matching side-game slot with a named operator that is not already on disk (not Microsoft, MobilityWare, GamoVation / Mahjong Club, Zygomatic, City Tours, or Treasure Quest).
- Play page (https://trysolitaire.com/mahjong) loaded on 2026-09-07. Lead copy: “Play Mahjong Solitaire — 144 Tiles, Match Free Pairs, Clear the Layout”; single-player tile-matching using the 144-tile Chinese set; free in the browser; 650+ layouts; no sign-up; works offline once loaded.
- Same page rules summary: a tile is free when nothing sits on top and at least one left/right side is open; Seasons match any Season and Flowers match any Flower; no time limit; scoring with tile-value × tiles-remaining plus same-suit chain multipliers.
- Explicit contrast table on that page: Mahjong Solitaire = 1 player / match free pairs vs traditional mahjong = 4 players / build winning hands.
- Credits page (https://trysolitaire.com/credits): first-party TrySolitaire attributions for game art/layouts (including Mahjong tile graphics and layout sources). Operator brand is TrySolitaire, not a random adware mirror.
- Sister URL https://trymahjong.com/ served the same Mahjong Solitaire product copy on this check (redirects / shared product family under TrySolitaire branding).
No 4-player table, NMJL card, Riichi, or Chinese scoring is described as the primary mode on those pages.

FAQ
Q: Can I play 4-player mahjong here (American, Riichi, or Chinese)?
A: No. The play page calls it Mahjong Solitaire / single-player tile-matching (match free pairs to clear the board). That is not a 4-player table.
Q: Do I need an account or download?
A: No. On 2026-09-07 the play page said free in your browser, no sign-up, and that it works offline once the page has loaded (also installable as a web app).
Q: Who operates this?
A: TrySolitaire. The credits page at trysolitaire.com/credits documents first-party attributions for the solitaire games on that domain.
