Take a closer look while playing

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Step by step

  2. Choose which end to use.
  3. Draw only when no tile fits.
  4. Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.

Making selections and moves

An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.

One detail worth checking

You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
