Something to practise
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Aim for this result
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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.
The controls to know
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
One way to understand the rules
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.
A mistake to avoid
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
