Practice with a purpose
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your objective
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Your inputs
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. Look at the feedback after the action.
An example before you play
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
One detail worth checking
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
