Vita Mahjong Levels 171–180: How to Choose Matches

For Vita Mahjong levels 171–180, check what a match will uncover before tapping. Favor available pairs that remove blockers or expose covered tiles, rather than clearing an easy pair just because it is visible.

The supplied material identifies this level range but does not show its board layouts or give verified, level-by-level moves. Treat this as a general way to assess a move, not a walkthrough for a particular board.

1. Look for matching tiles you can currently select.
2. Before choosing a pair, check whether removing it will reveal or free other tiles.
3. When you have a choice, prefer the pair that clears a tile covering other tiles.
4. Recheck the board after each match and choose again based on what is now available.

The draft’s advice to always clear from the top down is too broad to apply without seeing each layout. Use the tiles a move actually uncovers—not a fixed top-to-bottom or center-to-edge rule—to decide what to clear next.
