Choosing a Hand

How far away?

Count the tiles between your rack and a finished hand.

Beginner · lesson 12 of 25

“Tiles away” is your compass

For any hand on the card, you can ask: how many tiles would I need to swap in to finish it? That number, how many tiles away you are, is the clearest measure of which hand to chase.

Note

In a real game, opponents never tell you this. Here it's a drill: guess the number, then see the truth.
