Microsoft Mahjong

Microsoft Mahjong is a tile-matching solitaire game where you clear boards by pairing identical free tiles. It's the latest iteration of a puzzle Microsoft has shipped since the Entertainment Pack days, when it was called Taipei. You'll work through layouts of stacked mahjong tiles, removing matches until the board is empty. The game offers multiple tile sets and backgrounds you can swap between. Originally bundled as Mahjong Titans in Windows Vista and 7, the current version is a free standalone download developed by Arkadium. Layouts vary in difficulty—some sprawl wide, others stack deep. If you want a low-pressure puzzle that doesn't punish mistakes and fits in short breaks, this delivers exactly that without fuss.
