1 Bam, 2 Bam, 4 Bam, 4 Dot, 5 Bam, 5 Dot, 6 Crak, 7 Bam, 8 Crak, 9 Dot, Flower, Flower, Joker

What the coach saw

Your hand leans toward Even Numbers (2·4·6·8) (5 even tiles). Second option: Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9).

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 Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9).

Keep and pass

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

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

1 Bam: only backs your second option (Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9)), weakest of what's left

5 Bam: only backs your second option (Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9)), weakest of what's left

5 Dot: only backs your second option (Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9)), weakest of what's left

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.
