Mahjong solitaire is a solitaire matching game that uses a set of Mahjong tiles rather than cards. The computer game was originally created by Brodie Lockard in 1981 and named Mah-Jongg after the game that uses the same tiles for play. Lockard claims that it was based on a centuries-old Chinese game called "the Turtle". However, it was not until Activision released Shanghai in 1986 for the Macintosh and Apple IIgs that the game gathered momentum. A version of this game was also included in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack for Windows 3.x in 1990 and went by the name Taipei. It was subsequently included in the Best of Windows Entertainment Pack. Premium editions of the Windows Vista operating system and Windows 7 include a version of the game known as Mahjong Titans.
As any other successful game, millions of clones have been created on all possible platforms. So why should you give our version a try? We tried to recreate all the fun of original game with 60 different layouts in a tiny download package.
A tile that can be moved left or right without disturbing other tiles is said to be exposed. Exposed pairs of identical tiles (Flower and Seasons tiles in the same group being considered identical) are removed from the layout one at a time, gradually exposing the lower layers to play. The aim of the game is to clear the layout by pairing up all the tiles. The game is finished when either the layout is empty, or there are no exposed pairs remaining.

Latest reviews of Mahjong Solitaire -- Lite app for iPhone and iPad
I do not like the latest update! Use to be my favorite game, now I dont play it! Lousy set up!
The ads are larger than the tiles and they move constantly. Kinda impossible to focus on the game. Really disappointing because up until then i was having fun with it.
It would be great if you could play it on an iPhone but its just too small to be able to play. Theres no zoom available so theres no point in even trying to play it... Its really too bad :-(
Since the update, the hint and undo do not work. When there are no more moves, it doesnt let you know. This used to be a fun game. Still play but not as much as used to.
The graphics are too small-thank goodness I didnt pay for it cause it will be deleted-gave me a headache trying to see the tiles
