What is Mother’s Day Mahjong Solitaire? Mother’s Day Mahjong Solitaire is a themed version of classic Mahjong Solitaire. You match identical pairs of open tiles to remove them from the board and try to clear the entire layout. Is this the same as traditional 4-player Mahjong? Not quite. Traditional Mahjong is a multiplayer tabletop game with drawing and discarding tiles. Mahjong solitaire is a single-player puzzle where you remove matching pairs from a stacked layout. How do I play Mother’s Day Mahjong Solitaire? Select an open tile, then select another tile with the exact same design that is also open. If the match is valid, the pair disappears. Keep matching until you clear the board—or until there are no valid moves left. What makes a tile ‘open’ or playable? A tile is playable when it’s not covered by another tile and has at least one free side (left or right) that isn’t blocked by a neighboring tile. How do I win? You win by removing every tile from the board, meaning you’ve succe

What is Solitaire Farm Seasons?  It’s a farm-themed twist on classic solitaire where you clear cards in sequence to complete levels.    How do I play?  Select cards that are one higher or lower than your current card to clear them from the board. Click on the deck to reveal a new card if you’re stuck.    What is the goal of the game?  Clear all the cards from the board to complete the level. Between levels, harvest your vegetables to gain more coins.    Is the game free?  Yes, it’s free to play online.   Do I need to download anything?  No downloads are required.    Can I play on mobile?  Yes, the game is optimized for mobile devices.    What happens if I run out of moves?  You’ll need to draw from your deck or restart the level.    Are there different levels?  Yes, the game features multiple levels with incr

It can be tempting to draw a new card from the deck whenever you see one, but patience is key. Before pulling from the deck, make sure you’ve explored every possible move on the board first. The more you can clear without relying on the deck, the more control you maintain over your game and the easier it is to build high-scoring streaks. Saving your deck for when you’re truly stuck helps you avoid wasting valuable cards and keeps more strategic options available later in the round.   Looking for another tip?  Check out our other game tip or our game FAQ!   Did you find this post helpful? Give it a kudo to let us know—it helps others discover valuable content too.

Instead of jumping on the first available match, take a moment to scan the entire board before making your move. Look for options that will uncover hidden cards, open up new columns, or create additional matches right away. Sometimes the most obvious move can actually limit your future plays, so thinking a step or two ahead can make a big difference. By prioritizing moves that reveal the most new opportunities, you’ll keep the board flexible, extend your streaks, and give yourself a stronger path to clearing the game.    Looking for another tip?  Check out our other game tip  or our game FAQ !   Did you find this post helpful? Give it a kudo to let us know—it helps others discover valuable content too.

I love AARP. So did my parents who were lifetime members. I saw that AARP is recommending Our Time as a good dating app. That may be true for some but I just had a rough experience of being kicked off of the site without explanation. When I asked for clarification they sent me an appeal link. I wrote back to ask how to appeal when you don't know what they saw as a problem. The next email said the matter was closed, leaving me to try to guess what was flagged as a problem. The only thing I can think of was that I mentioned I was in the singing resistance choir to protest the government actions and those of billionaires. It was a very small part of my profile, being only one of the many activities I'm enjoying in retirement. I thought it would help to screen people who I probably wouldn't agree with politically.  I hope that AARP will listen to this and reconsider endorsing what I must conclude is partisan platform.   

Why does it not show that I’ve played the puzzle every day? 

New thing - you have to watch a stupid advertisement before you can play. It’s annoying and unnecessary. It’s so annoying I’d never even look at what they’re selling. 

The game opens, but there are just blank tiles. https://games.aarp.org/games/original-mahjongg-solitaire

In Mahjongg Solitaire, it’s important to not just match tiles indiscriminately, as different suits can give you different point values. They are:   Wan (Tiles with Chinese characters) – 2 points Circle (Tiles with circles) – 4 points Bamboo (Tiles with vertical bamboo pieces, as well as the bird tile) – 6 points Wind (North, South, East, and West) – 8 points Dragon (A tile with a single red, green, or black marking) – 10 points Flower (A tile with a picture of flower and a blue number) – 12 points Season (A tile with a picture of a tree and a red number) – 14 points                         The score for each match is the suit points multiplied by the number of tiles remaining on the board. That means that finding matches among season, flower, and dragon tiles early on will be a big boon for your score. Additionally, each successive match of the same suit adds a chain multiplier – so the more matches you make of a singl

Jewel Quest is a match-3 puzzle game where you match gems to solve challenges and uncover relics.   What is the goal of the game? The goal is to complete level-specific objectives by matching gems and progressing through the adventure. Early on, you’ll need to make a match in every square; soon after, you’ll be matching gold coins for the Midas Touch, which turns any square gold. Keep playing to find more ways to score points and win!   How do I play? Swap adjacent gems to create matches of three or more, either by clicking and dragging your mouse or swiping on your tablet or mobile device. Complete objectives to advance.   What happens if I run out of time? If you run out of time in a level (which you can see at the bottom of the screen), you will lose and need to retry the level.   Are there different modes? The game features a campaign mode with progressive levels.   How are scores calculated? Scores are based on matches, combos, and completion speed.

Was wondering if there is any interest in table top role playing games. Dungeons an Dragons is the gold standard for role playing in a fantasy world where everything is made up in our minds, with the help of "Dungeon Master" that creates the world to be explored and have awesome adventures. There are several online tools to facilitate a game so playing can be done at your PC.  Or if enough people live close, many great places to meetup and play in person. Game plays best with 1 DM and 4-6 adventurers.

I’ve tried everything.  What is the secret sequence to get through this today?

I think we should disregard all AARP survey requests (actually ALL survey requests) until companies offer gift cards or other real rewards. For those of you that just disregard them, you're messing up my ka-ching campaign.

What is Swipe City? Swipe City is a match 3 game with a little extra twist: instead of switching the position of tiles to match 3 in a row, every tile in Swipe City moves freely across the grid. When you swipe a tile, it will move in that direction until it hits a wall or another tile.   What is the goal of the game? The goal of the game is similar to other match 3 games – match tiles by placing them next to each other and removing them from the board!   When do I beat a level?Each level has goals: the number of each type of tile that needs to be removed from the board. That could be three or more. Match that number of tiles together – you don’t need to do it all at once – and you’ll move on to the next level.   How do I play once I begin a level? All you need to do to play is start swiping! Choose a tile and swipe (on mobile or table) or click and drag (on desktop) to send it careening across the board until it hits a wall or another tile. Keep swiping to make your matc
