Practice beyond the first move
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
The purpose of your moves
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.
Step by step
- Play a tile matching either open chain end.
- Choose which end to use.
- Draw only when no tile fits.
- Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
One way to understand the rules
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.
A mistake to avoid
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
