No dead boards, ever • 27 layouts, from a gentle 72-tile Bridge to the classic 144-tile Turtle • Nine themed courses of 300 stages each, with medals at the milestones • A daily board shared by everyone, with streak bonuses • Four tile sets including a high-contrast Night set, and four table backgrounds • Larger tiles, plain numerals instead of artwork, and VoiceOver labels throughout • Optional Game Center leaderboards for daily times, stages and boards cleared • Works fully offline. Nothing collected, nothing tracked, no account • Made for iPad too, in portrait or landscape No ads. Ever. The only purchases are optional coin packs, and you never need one to finish a board.

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tilemist at none against ZenJong Classic's shown. Tilemist also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
