Try a more deliberate round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.

The challenge in front of you

Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

How a round unfolds

  1. Play a tile matching either open chain end.
  2. Choose which end to use.
  3. Draw only when no tile fits.
  4. Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.

Choosing and moving on screen

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

Follow the example

An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A useful caution

You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
