What is Jolly Jong Butterfly?
Jolly Jong Butterfly is a mahjong solitaire game with butterfly-themed tile art. Your goal is to clear the entire board by finding pairs of identical tiles and removing them two at a time. A tile can only be used when it is free, meaning nothing is stacked on top of it and at least one of its sides — left or right — is open. As you remove pairs, tiles that were blocked become available, so each match changes which moves you have next. The challenge is choosing an order of matches that never leaves you with unpaired leftovers.
How Jolly Jong Butterfly works
- Goal
Remove every tile from the board by pairing identical butterfly tiles.
- Your moves
- Select two identical free tiles to remove them
- Check uncovered tiles for new matches
- When a round ends
The round is won when the whole board is cleared; leftover blocked or unpaired tiles mean no full clear.
Your first round
- Look over the layout and find tiles that are uncovered with a side open.
- Pick out two free tiles that are identical.
- Match them to remove both from the board.
- See which tiles became free once the pair was removed.
- Keep pairing identical free tiles until the board is empty or no matches remain.
Easy to miss
- A tile with something on top of it is never selectable, even if its sides look open.
- Having only one side open is enough — either left or right counts.
- Matching is strictly identical-to-identical; similar tiles do not pair.
Is Jolly Jong Butterfly for you?
