Mahjongg Solitaire

Why was this changed to a Tracfone app? I was used to the way it looked and I find the new graphic much more difficult to use.

It’s awful. I’m not playing it anymore. It’s not mahjong, it’s a ridiculous techno advertisement. I’ll play my mahjong solitaire elsewhere.

Bring the regular Mahjong back. We pay money for "free games", not for you to take away the fun games for a stupid branding scam.

@KimShan1 Please note you can still access the original Mahjongg Solitaire game, there is a link in the description box or you can go directly to it from this link: https://games.aarp.org/games/original-mahjongg-solitaire

i REALLY hate the new version of Mahjongg Solitaire. Please remove it. It's extremely hard on the eyes to see distinct cubes.

I do not see the original game in the main “games” menu..why should I have to go find a link every time I play this. I usually play multiple games per day. The new “ Trac Phone” [advertise paid to AARP] version is bad as you cannot differentiate between the tiles.

I realize it’s annoying, but here’s the way to get to the Original Mahjongg Solitaire from the bottom of the display screen on the Tracfone game display banner.

Re: Mahjongg Solitaire

SereneSeagull — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 21:38:23 GMT

It’s there, see my screenshot above. Yes, it’s a few clicks to get to it, but it’s there.

It’s annoying for sure, but look at the screenshot I just posted above. It’s there still.

Also as an aside…

The more people bypass the tracfone game and use this pathway to go to the original game via this way, the click-though counts will show how many people prefer the original. Many times companies use this as a way to decide how much traffic something gets. In this case, the more traffic through this way, the more data they get to show people prefer the old version.

If people decide not to play the original because they are pissed at the way they now have to get it, the results will then show NO counts to the original version. Hence, the data supports removing it at some point. If you want the original to stay…USE this new pathway.
Data driven…

I found the original, but the leader board scores seem to be off. They used to be around 100,000 and now 147,000???

That banner is not available on my screen

Look for it on the screen that shows Play button on the Tracfone game. It’s on that screen.

Hi again, @d672599f Just now I went to look and the path to the original has a new look to it. Go to the Tracfone version, and where that game’s high scores are displayed, you’ll see the text to go to the original. This too, is another ploy to move that around, so someone really has to look for it. Otherwise they player gives up and would play the new version. Here’s what my screen shows now and where to find the text to go to original.

Thanks for the help in getting to the original game, which I also prefer. I hope they change it back, as I lprefer to see it in my "recently played."

I see it now. Thank you

As members, we aren't as important as the Tracfone MahJongg is. This version is terrible, almost, though not nearly as bad as Tracfone service itself is! We should be given the option of playing the usual game or the Tracfone version. Not playing until the original has returned!

Re: Mahjongg Solitaire

SereneSeagull — Sat, 02 May 2026 00:18:35 GMT

The original is there, @NordicWomyn that is the option, and it is available to you. Did you see my screen prints in this thread?
