The deal

1 Bam, 2 Dot, 3 Crak, 3 Crak, 4 Bam, 5 Crak, 6 Bam, 8 Dot, 8 Dot, Soap (White), Flower, Joker, East

What the coach saw

Your hand leans toward Even Numbers (2·4·6·8) (5 even tiles). Second option: Pairs Hands.

1 joker, gold for pungs and kongs, but remember: jokers can never fill a pair, and you may not pass them in the Charleston.

The strongest category here is Even Numbers (2·4·6·8) (5 even tiles). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Pairs Hands.

Keep and pass

Worth holding: 4 Bam, 6 Bam, Flower, 8 Dot, 8 Dot.

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

1 Bam: a loner, serves neither Even Numbers (2·4·6·8) nor Pairs Hands

5 Crak: a loner, serves neither Even Numbers (2·4·6·8) nor Pairs Hands

Soap (White): an unpaired Soap (White), honors only score in groups, and your direction is 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.
