Mahjong Sanctuary stuck

I'm having the issue as well.  The tutorial pops up... I follow along with the instructions... and nothing happens.  I'm stuck!

im stuck as well, when the tutorial pops up it wants u to pick the first match, but you cant it wont do anything

Did they find away around it

I'm past level 25 now!!!  What you need to do is this... when you're stuck in the tutorial part, go back then try again.  I was finally able to get two clippers on top.  I clicked them both and it worked and closed out the tutorial.

Best of luck to all!! 

Level 25 includes an intro/tutorial by the birds telling the player to match a set of cutters to clear the vine locking in a tile. The cutters are under other tiles and cannot be selected. The level was reset several times over two days. Sometimes one clipper can be selected but never both. This is disappointing. It was a fun game to play when I had a few minutes to spare some afternoons. 

I have gone in and out of the level over 20 times. How do you get past the stupid  tutorial. I do not have 2 clippers to click. How can you turn off the tutorials.
