Read full description

IT Mahjong is a portrait mahjong-solitaire game with an IT twist: clouds, servers, commits, and the rest of a 36-kind catalog. Clear free matching pairs. Use the four-slot tray to hold an unmatched tile and open a route. Journey has 20 designed puzzles across Connections, Networks, Storage, and Security. Each level is the same every retry. Clearing a level unlocks the next. A mastery star is for a clear with no hints, shuffles, or undo. Relaxed play deals a fresh board. Choose Easy, Medium, or Hard, tray or classic matching, and a tile size that fits your hands. Easy Touch keeps the same puzzles with larger controls and more forgiving taps. No accounts, ads, or in-app purchases. Progress stays on the device.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IT Mahjong at none against Solitaire's 3. IT Mahjong also leads on ads (none vs shown). Solitaire's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
