Teahouse

Tile matching, no dead ends

The mahjong that never traps you. Every tile is face-up, every board is certified winnable, and there's no shuffle button — because you'll never need one.

iPhone · iPad · Mac — one purchase covers all three

No ads. No dead ends. No shuffles. No timers.

Teahouse is mahjong solitaire for people who love a real logic puzzle.

Most mahjong games hide the tiles and call the board "guaranteed solvable" — solvable only if you could see every tile and played a perfect line. You can't, so you strand yourself anyway, and then the app sells you a shuffle to escape the dead end it created. Teahouse turns every tile face-up and guarantees a winning line actually exists. The result: no luck, no dead ends — every win is earned.

The long version — what “guaranteed solvable” actually promises, the exact move that kills a board, and what the shuffle button is really for.

What makes it different

Perfect information

Every tile is legible from the first move. Tap any tile to light up its match wherever it hides. Planning replaces guessing.

Certified solvable

Every board is proven winnable under correct play before you ever see it. That's why there's no shuffle button: you never need one.

Difficulty that's measured

Boards are graded by how far ahead you must plan to avoid stranding a tile, not by tile count or a countdown clock.

Hints that teach

A hint explains WHY a match is safe or fatal (it frees a tile you need, or buries its own pair) instead of gifting a free move to sell an ad.

Unlimited undo, always free

It's a logic puzzle, not a slot machine.

A fresh daily board

Reproducible on every layout and difficulty, free forever. Build a streak; chase a clean, no-undo line for all three cups.

A gentle coach

Miss the line and it walks back to the exact move that stranded the board, shows the safe pair you missed, and lets you play on.

Six hand-painted tile sets and several classic layouts

Carry the heritage with no language barrier.
