Practice with a purpose
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.
What counts as success
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Work through an example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
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.
