Make the controls familiar
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
