Ask your friend.
“Can I Hu?” is easier to discuss when everyone can see the same tiles. Build a hand, add what you know about the table, then share a link or download a diagram.

What would you tell your kaki?
The sender supplied this hand and its context. The tool has not verified a Hu or recommended a discard. Reply in the conversation where you received it.
1 · Build your question
Which hand are you discussing?
Each declared Chow, Pong or Kong counts as three toward the hand total. A Kong still shows all four physical tiles.
Concealed hand
Tap a tile below to remove it. These controls build only your hand; opponents’ hands and discards are not included.
Candidate tile
Keep this tile separate from the 13-tile hand. It is the draw or discard you are asking about.
Declared sets
Bonus tiles
2 · Add the context you know
Include relevant house rules, passed claims or visible discards in your own words. Leave out names, phone numbers and private details. Unknown information stays marked as unknown.
Player-authored hand question
Your hand will appear here
A hand snapshot, not a verified ruling. Tile counts and set shapes are checked before sharing; legal Hu and strategy are not. Unknown context may change the answer.

Useful beyond one conversation
Already playing against bots? Open Explain hand in the web practice table (new tab), then choose Preview my hand question during an ordinary draw or discard turn. Your own tiles are filled in and your game stays open. Some situations, including Kongs and claim decisions, still need manual entry.
Hosts can make a question before a family game. Teachers can print a hand for a class or reuse the PNG in their own teaching material, with the site credit retained. Keep your answer separate so learners can try first.
Questions are assembled in your browser. This tool does not upload them or read your saved game, table names, profiles or scores. Nothing is sent to a friend until you choose where to share. It supports this site’s 148-tile set; it does not model jokers, a full table history, or every house-rule variant.
