Notes
- Side games listing: this is Mahjong Solitaire (tile matching), not four-player mahjong with draw and discard.
- Free web version is the classic layout only: the extra layouts, tile sets and 3D view belong to the full Mahjong Fantasy app, whose store terms were not reviewed.
- Per-browser data: clearing browser data or switching devices resets streaks.
- Build counter: the page showed “Build v175” on 2026-10-15; the site updates often.
- Not reviewed: app-store prices and ratings; the page was read as served with JavaScript off, so the live game board was not tested.
