Take a closer look while playing
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
How to proceed
- 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.
Using the playing area
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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
An example before you play
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Keep this in mind
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
