Mahjong solitaire puzzle
Match two free tiles to open every animal habitat.
Animal Habitat Mahjong is a free bilingual Kids mahjong-solitaire puzzle with 30 saved boards, ten layered structures, six rule chapters, and Habitat Finales at Boards 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30. Players match identical free animal and habitat tiles, open diamond-key seals, rescue starred families, and follow alternating A/B patrol trails without a countdown failure.
The Forest Ranger Archive keeps illustrated tile albums for Forest Canopy, Safari Trail, Coral Shelf, and Arctic Glow. A seasonal storm has folded the pages into layered stacks, leaving animal portraits, shells, coral, leaves, and snow marks covering one another. The junior tile ranger restores each page by returning every matching pair to the album.
Diamond-marked animals carry keys for blue trail seals, while starred pictures represent separated families. Patrol Trail boards alternate the available route between groups A and B after each match, asking the ranger to inspect a different part of the layered board. Clearing Board 30 restores the final Coral Shelf page and completes all six Habitat Finales.
Boards contain eight to twelve true pairs over one, two, or three layers. Pictures remain visible, so the challenge is access planning rather than memory.
A normal tile is free when no active tile covers its coordinate and either its left or right side is open on the same row and layer. Patrol Trail additionally limits matching to the A or B route displayed in the objective, normally switching after a success.
Trail Seal boards hold marked inner tiles until the glowing diamond pair clears. Family Rescue boards track two starred matching families. Ranger Trial combines seal and rescue; Grand Reserve adds the alternating patrol route.
Hint highlights one legal pair. Undo restores both tiles plus the exact prior key and rescue state. Shuffle is disabled while a move exists; during a dead end it preserves special tokens and guarantees a playable pair.
Moves count matches and Shuffles. Visible time pauses with the page hidden. Each board stores best score, fewest moves, fastest visible time, and progression in this browser.
Boards 1-5 teach standard access through grid, diamond, terrace, bridge, and stacked layouts.
Boards 6-10 introduce diamond keys and sealed inner pairs.
Boards 11-15 add two starred family rescues; Board 15 begins with a deliberate no-move Shuffle lesson.
Boards 16-20 alternate available A/B patrol routes through Arctic pyramid and sanctuary layouts.
Boards 21-25 combine trail seals and family rescues.
Boards 26-30 combine seals, rescues, and alternating patrol routes; Board 30 uses twelve pairs over three layers.
Difficulty grows by changing access decisions rather than simply adding tiles, shrinking pictures, or imposing a fast clock. Seals add dependency, rescues add visible subgoals, and Patrol Trail changes which set is currently available after each match. One fixed logical layout scales uniformly on phones, tablets, desktop, and short landscape. Touch, mouse, and keyboard share one validator; Result stays inside Battle; the Kids route creates no advertising request or reserve. Unlike a memory game, every picture remains visible, and unlike a flat matching board, removal order changes which tiles can be reached.
Animal Habitat Mahjong may support visual scanning, spatial planning, focus, cause and effect, and revising a decision. Scores and Skill Report describe only local play, not an intelligence test, grade, diagnosis, or child comparison. Progress stays in this browser and may reset if storage is cleared. No child profile is required, and the Kids route requests no advertising.
