What Makes Mah Jongg Tiles Solitaire Stand Out
"I love this game. It's easy to learn. Fun to play. The options are almost endless and you can play for just a few minutes or for hours."
"Love this game! You can do it over and over again and not be bored. Doesn't hit you up for money — a big plus."
"This is my go to app when I just want to relax & cool it."
A deluxe Mah Jongg Solitaire game for iOS from the folks at JustMahJonggSolitaire.com. Find matching tiles and try to clear the board. Tons of features and game variations.
Layouts: More than 100 layouts to choose from including the classic Mah Jongg solitaire layout, a quick version that fits better on the iPhone and iPod touch screen, and many unusual, original and challenging layouts.
Tile sets: 11 colorful and creative tile sets, CleverMedia's famous "Nile Tiles" set, traditional Canton Chinese tile set, holiday sets for Halloween and Christmas and many more.
Backgrounds: Choose from dozens of backgrounds.
While playing you can get hints, undo moves, mark playable tiles and even shuffle the tiles. (Yes, there is a shuffle function, despite what some reviewers below say.)
One of the key features of the game is that it creates solvable arrangements. While ultimately solving a layout is up to you and the choices you make while playing, every game you play has at least one solution.
Note that this free game includes ALL features. There are no in-app purchases. You get all the tile sets, layouts, backgrounds and features.
This Strategy game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Today for the first time when we go to open we get a white blank screen and then screen is gone. Why will it not open? We played this game yesterday no problems. We love this mah Jongg. A real bummer as we have had this game for at least 10 years.
We love this game and play it every day. The tile sets, backgrounds and layouts are a wonderful mix (though we especially love the puppies – and we find the cats hilarious – so: added fun). Thank you, Clever Media, for such a lovely game that Ive enjoyed for years! :).
We love this game. We find it very relaxing. 18.02 made it glitch and not be able to play. We downloaded a different game and it didnt have the same options. Our favorite is to start over and continue another time. We will play over and over until we win. Luckily It was an easy fix. We deleted the app and reinstalled.
Thanks for this game & especially the large tiles alphabet board. With limited vision, can still see those nice, black letters. Would be great to have other boards for visually impaired people.
We love this game but the tiles are too small and very hard on the eyes. It is wonderful to have the variety of tiles but not so wonderful when they are very difficult to see. Is it possible to enlarge graphics.
So glad we came across this new and improved edition. We've always enjoyed this game, but this version is the icing on the cake. Definitely one of our favorites.
We've played this game every day for years, it was great to begin with and it just keeps getting better with each update! And, as with all clevermedia games, developer is very responsive if you have questions.
The new update has some changes that took awhile to get used to. But, we love the game and definitely will keep playing it.
This is our favorite Mah Jongg app! The colors are vibrant, the game tiles have many sets, and the play is smooth.
Loved the game until the last update to version 3.0 Time to look for a replacement as Ive already uninstalled this one.
Tried a lot of mah Jongg games over the years but this is by far the best. Lots of tile choices and layouts. Some layouts are easier than others so you can pick the one to fit your mood. They added tiles for holidays that are cute and different. Love the animal tiles too. Great variety game play so it never gets boring. Ads are not long and constant. Ads are not annoying. Everything they add has been free. Try this one, you wont be disappointed!!! Thanks and keep up the great work.
Update to our earlier review; This latest release/version appears to have fixed the issue we were routinely having with it crashing at launch on our our 4th Gen iPadPro. At least after a couple pause/close/re-open cycles it is now behaving well as it had before. Thank you for the fix! _- we have been enjoying this game for a long time and it plays as you would expect except on our ipad pro 4th generation. It frequently crashes at launch. We contacted the developer who said to delete and reinstall it; it worked a few times after that but resumed crashing at launch. We reported this over a month ago but has not been corrected yet. Developers comments seemed to imply no other reports of this signature have occurred, implying it is an issue for us only. In any case it doesnt work for us on our 12 ipadpro 4th gen. Perhaps a timing issue? Worked well/reliably on our 3rd gen ipad pro. Something to consider if you have new hardware.
We would gladly pay to not have them.
This is the best! Just wondering why when we try to update the circle spins around twice and then a message comes up saying it can't be downloaded. We would like to have the latest version.
This is a great mind stimulator! It was hard at first but by using easy variations we learned quickly. Now we use the random option every time and it is very challenging. Best app Ive found yet for games.
Mahjong is hard but fun at the same time.
Game loaded quickly and without difficulty. Some tiles are more difficult than others and we imagine that is intentional. A great mental challenge.
It is beautiful with a variety of tiles that are very historically correct.
This Mahjong app focuses on letting you play the game, giving you both difficulty options and appearance options. Well done, a nice change.
We like this one because they keep things simple. Keeps our mind busy without being frustrating.
We love this version of mahjong ! So many options give us hours of enjoyment.
Love, love, love this particular mahjong game. Has lots of different tile sets – even ones for several holidays. So far hasnt asked us to buy anything- some games even want you to buy shuffles !! Highly recommend for any mahjong fans.
Enjoy the excellent variety of Mah Jongg.
This is the best game we have ever played.
Wish we could pay a buck or two to remove the ads.
Great game. Lots of tile options. Been using for over 4 years now. Have recommended it to friends. Like the new STATES version, but would like to see the name of the state when match is made.
Thank you for your recent update, but still there are two that are difficult to play, the worst is Sumarian, two many symbols and very thin and very hard to distinguish they should be thicker. Also the Mayan have to be more defined, but better for the rest, thanks.
Fun game but after all this time we wish there were a few more holiday games like Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving and maybe St Patricks day.
We loved working all these. But there werent enough. The only additional challenge we can add is the different languages or fonts which slow us down. Please make more.
Good game, but too easy. Im getting to where we can knock a game out in well under 10 minutes. We see patterns in the new games that tell us things to watch out for. We have tried different starting layouts, and they can be more challenging, but some are also much easier. Overall, its a good game if youve never played before. Once you figure it out, it will put you to sleep.
This is a good game but there are a couple of things. 1) After Ive won a game we would like to see the number of the game and our score displayed at that time. Also after Ive won a game and tap the play tile there is a screen of text that pops up and disappears before it can be read. We would really like to be able to read that text. It is not always the same thing. We can tell by the length of text.
Finally! We found a fantastic mahjong app to play the way we want to, with a variety of board layouts and tilesets. Simple, yet challenging, it meets our needs perfectly. However, we wish there was a premium plan or somesuch for users who wish to have ads removed could pay for the product. Please find a way to do this, because your program deserves 5 stars.
Fun to play when its not crashing. A lot of layouts. But keeps crashing.
Overall, a good game. Pros: great variety of layouts and tile sets; ads are not intrusivemuch appreciate Cons: the lag time after matching tiles or waiting for program to create a solvable game has slowed the pace of play to a crawl, if even that! Some of the layouts for solvable game takes over 5+ mins. Recommend ability to go back after a move (match). Thanks.
We enjoyed this game in the past but the new ads flashing on top Annoy us to the point that we may quit playing this.
Game okay, but includes political ads. Uninstalling.
The sound commercials make us jump out of our skin and we wont play it anymore.
Finally a game that gives you a chance to finish. Keep up the good work.
Terrific challenges and lots of options.
We like how it has a quick version of the game for when you dont have a lot of time.
Multiple boards and tile style.
Excellent version, particularly one that is free. Very intuitive, easy to use and offers broad function. Highly recommend.
This is a good game that keeps us entertained.
This is an enjoyable Mahjongg solitaire game – one of the best we have seen. It has lots of options, like different tile faces, many different backgrounds, good sound effects, etc. And….it is fast. There are ads which you can't pay to be rid of, but they occupy a narrow strip at the very top of the screen and can be successfully ignored without being "in your face" all the time like some other solitaire games. If it wasn't for that, we'd give it 5 stars. We got a feedback response right away, which we appreciated. We recommend this game.
This version has levels that are easy to make out.
Really enjoy this game — play it over and over.
Love the variety of tiles and seasonal choices. Very challenging . Very addicting, could play all day.
OMG, this is just what we've been looking for. It's like an old version we played years ago. Simple, timer and keeps score on our favorite layout. We don't need all the fancy stuff. We have been looking for this. So glad we found it.
Love to play this when just killing time or need to get our mind off other things.
This is a fun app with lots of features and game types. Fun minutes or an hour or so if you get hooked! The ads are unobtrusive, which is a major plus.
