Mahjong Sort Puzzle Strategy Guide: Master the Bamboo Merge

Mahjong Sort Puzzle is not your grandmother's Mahjong game. It combines the familiar "Bamboo" (条子) tiles with a satisfying sorting and merging mechanic reminiscent of 2048. Instead of matching pairs, your goal is to stack identical tiles. But here's the twist: you need to stack 10 identical tiles to trigger a merge, evolving them into the next rank. From the humble 1-Bamboo (the Bird) all the way to the 9-Bamboo, it's a test of inventory management and foresight.

Phase 1: The Power of Ten (Basic Rules)

The game revolves around the "Bamboo" suit. You start with lower-ranked tiles like the 1-Bamboo (Bird). Your objective is to pile them into the slots. Once a slot holds 10 identical tiles, you hit the "Merge" button. These 10 tiles will condense into 2 tiles of the next rank (e.g., ten '2-Bamboo' become two '3-Bamboo').

Unlocking Slots: As you successfully merge and upgrade your tiles, new empty slots will unlock. This is crucial because space is your most valuable resource.

Phase 2: The Dealing Dilemma

When you run out of moves, you must hit the "Deal" button. This adds a fresh layer of tiles to your slots. This is the most dangerous part of the game. If you deal while your slots are too full, the new tiles might cover up the ones you need, creating a deadlock.

• Clear Before You Deal: Always try to merge everything possible before asking for more cards.
• Watch the Overlap: New cards will sit on top of old ones. If a '9-Bamboo' gets buried under a '1-Bamboo', you can't use it until the top one is moved.

Gameplay Walkthrough: Road to Victory

Watch this complete run to see how patience pays off. Notice how the player carefully manages the "Deal" function to avoid getting overwhelmed, eventually merging their way to the final 9-Bamboo tile.

Phase 3: Survival Tools

Sometimes, the luck of the draw is against you. If you are completely stuck, the game offers two lifelines via ads:

• Shuffle: This rearranges the entire board. It’s perfect when your high-value tiles are buried at the bottom of the stacks.
• Extra Slot: You can unlock an additional temporary slot at the top. This extra breathing room can be the difference between Game Over and a Merge.

The ultimate goal is to create 10 of the 9-Bamboo tiles. Achieve this, and you clear the level!
