What the coach saw

Your hand leans toward Winds & Dragons (5 wind/dragon tiles).

Scattered hands are normal before the Charleston, pass boldly and re-read.

The strongest category here is Winds & Dragons (5 wind/dragon tiles). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Even Numbers (2·4·6·8).

Keep and pass

Worth holding: Red Dragon, Soap (White), Flower, East, West.

In the Charleston, these can go, and here is why:

3 Bam: a loner, serves neither Winds & Dragons nor Even Numbers (2·4·6·8)

5 Bam: a loner, serves neither Winds & Dragons nor Even Numbers (2·4·6·8)

5 Dot: a loner, serves neither Winds & Dragons nor Even Numbers (2·4·6·8)

A new hand like this one goes live every morning, read tile by tile by the coach. Play today’s hand free, or get the coach on your own tiles with the 14-Day Challenge or the Club.
