Most hands are built from groups plus a finishing pair. Special patterns can change that structure, so a player should know which pattern they are pursuing before the middle of the hand.
Standard hand
Five groups + one pairA 16-tile hand of Chows, Pongs, or Kangs, finished by exactly one pair.
Seven Pairs
Seven pairs + one Chow or PongA special shape checked separately by the app. A concealed four-of-a-kind may count as two pairs.
All Pong
Matching sets + one pairA hand built from triplets or quads rather than numbered sequences.
Full Flush
One numbered suitA completed hand using numbered tiles from only one suit.
1-to-9 Straight
1–2–3 · 4–5–6 · 7–8–9A complete one-through-nine run in one suit, plus the remaining required shape.
Before calling a win
Check the whole hand, not only the last tile.
- 01
Count the structure. Confirm every tile belongs to the declared pattern.
- 02
Check exposed groups. Make sure earlier calls still fit the hand you are claiming.
- 03
Separate Flores. Winds, dragons, flowers, and seasons never become groups in the hand.
- 04
Confirm the table rule. Special patterns and awards must match the rule set in use.
