What am I identifying?

The tiles that win this hand, not the tiles that lower shanten, and not which tile to cut. The set has to match exactly.

How do I answer a multi-wait?

Select every side of a ryanmen, shanpon, or wider wait. Leaving one tile out makes the whole answer wrong.

What are ryanmen, kanchan, penchan, and tanki?

Ryanmen wins on either side of a run, kanchan fills the middle, penchan is 12 waiting on 3 or 89 waiting on 7, and tanki is a single pair wait. Examples stay in the wait-types article.

Why are some waits left out?

Only this one suit is checked, and a tile you already hold four of cannot be drawn. Seven-tile and ten-tile hands use a short meld-and-pair shape, not seven pairs or kokushi, while thirteen-tile hands also accept seven pairs. Missing one tile of a multi-wait still fails.

What changes between Simple and Hard?

Simple guarantees at least one wait. Hard 10-tile and 13-tile hands have at least three. Hard 7-tile hands use a fixed set of shapes and are not redrawn for three waits.

What this drill trains

Tenpai training asks which tiles complete this one-suit hand. Select every wait. Seven and ten tiles use a short meld-and-pair shape. Thirteen tiles also accept seven pairs. Kokushi is excluded, and four copies already in hand are never a wait.

How to practice

Choose 7, 10, or 13 tiles, then Simple or Hard. Simple has one or more waits. Hard 10 and 13 have at least three. Hard 7 uses a fixed list.
Tap every wait, or toggle 1–9, then submit. Only an exact set moves on. A miss shows every wait.
Timed mode is 20 seconds. Each hit adds about ten points per second left. One miss ends the round.

How to read the answer

The answer lists every wait. None means no tenpai. Only 13 tiles open Hand Analysis. Ryanmen, kanchan, penchan, and tanki are defined in Wait types
