Mahjong Of The Day is Astraware's mahjong solitaire app built around a daily challenge. Each day you can pick one of 12 classic layouts at one of four difficulties and play the same deal as everyone else, then compare your time on global leaderboards. More than 50 layouts are also available for free play.
About Mahjong Of The Day (Astraware)
Mahjong Of The Day is a mahjong solitaire game for iPhone and iPad: you clear a stacked layout of tiles by matching free pairs, where a tile is free if nothing sits on top of it and one of its long sides is open.
It comes from Astraware and has been on the App Store since 2011.
The heart of the app is its daily challenge. Every day there is a puzzle for each of 12 classic layouts in four settings: Easy, Medium and Hard deals are guaranteed to be solvable, while Classic is dealt at random and may need shuffles. Everyone starts the same deal, and you can submit your time to global leaderboards. Outside the daily, more than 50 layouts can be played as often as you like.
The tables are rendered in 3D, and you can pinch to zoom and swipe to look around the stacks to see what is hidden, with optional hints, highlights, undo and an auto-zoom that fills the screen as the layout shrinks. It is free with adverts, and a single purchase removes them. It suits mahjong solitaire players who want a fixed daily deal to race against others.
How to play Mahjong Of The Day (Astraware)
- Open Mahjong Of The Day and choose the daily challenge.

- Tap two matching free tiles to remove them; a tile is free if nothing covers it and its left or right side is open.
- Keep matching pairs until the whole layout is cleared.
- Submit your time to see where you rank on the global leaderboard.

Tips
- Free tiles that block long rows first, since they open the most new moves.
- When all four copies of a tile are free, remove them as two pairs straight away.
- Zoom and rotate the view to check what is under a stack before committing to a match.
