Play Mahjong Taikai (J)(Legacy) Online
You match tiles with a nice click sound, but simple puzzles soon turn into head-scratchers where one wrong move locks the whole board. The clean Japanese-style backgrounds keep things chill while you figure it out.

Mahjong Taikai for the Nintendo DS came out in 2006, published by Nintendo. It was part of that wave of traditional games finding a new home on the handheld, offering a straightforward digital version of the classic tile-matching game without a lot of extra fluff.
You control the cursor to select and match pairs of identical tiles, clearing the board to complete each puzzle. The main objective is to remove every tile from increasingly complex layouts, with mechanics that include searching for free tiles (those not blocked on the left and right) and using hints when you get stuck. The pacing is methodical, and the difficulty ramps up noticeably in later stages, demanding careful observation. It feels like a quiet, focused test of pattern recognition and patience.
