Choosing a Hand

How far away?

Count the tiles between your rack and a finished hand.

“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.

Practice this with short, friendly drills in the app — free.
