Two fixed, authored practice examples
Finish the shape. Find the Tai.
First, complete four sets and a pair. Then check for at least one Tai. These two examples use fixed Wong practice rules, not your saved profile.
- 1. Finish
- 2. Draw
- 3. Tai
- 4. Check
Step 1 of 4 · 13 tiles
See the hand that is waiting
Read the separated groups as three sequences, a Red Dragon Pong, and a lone Nine Circle waiting for a pair. This fixed example is all concealed: East is both seat and prevailing wind, with a self-draw finish and no bonuses.
Step 2 of 4 · choose one tile
Which draw completes the shape?
Choose the tile that turns the lone Nine Circle into the eye pair.
Four sets and a pair. The Nine Circle makes the pair, so the hand now has 14 tiles. The shape is complete; the Tai check comes next.
14 tiles · complete shape
Step 3 of 4 · one Tai
What gives this hand its Tai?
A complete shape alone is not enough for Hu at this fixed practice table. Choose the scoring source.
Red Dragon Pong +1. Red Dragon Pong supplies 1 Tai here.
Step 4 of 4 · transfer the lesson
Same shape. May this hand Hu?
All tiles remain concealed; you are East, East is the prevailing wind, and the finish is self-drawn with no bonuses or exposed sets.
Rule fact for this example: the West Wind triplet supplies no Tai. Seat and prevailing wind are both East.
You practised both checks
You practised completing a pair and checking what scores. A complete shape does not automatically mean a legal Hu. The Red Dragon Pong supplied one Tai; West is not valued when both your seat and the prevailing wind are East.
