Hand of the Day
One fresh hand, the same for every player, every day. Read where it leans, study the coach's breakdown, and keep your streak alive.
Today's American Mahjong Hand of the Day (November 8) is a dealt rack of 1 Dot, 3 Bam, 6 Bam, 6 Dot, 8 Crak, 8 Dot, Green Dragon, Soap (White), Soap (White), Flower, Flower, Joker, East. Name the direction you would go for, then open the coach's tile-by-tile read to compare.
Dealing today's hand…
Everyone gets the same tiles. Let them argue before they open the read.
Missed a day? Every past hand is kept, read tile by tile, in the Hand of the Day archive.
What the Hand of the Day is for
Every day the site deals one thirteen-tile hand, the same for every player. You pick the card category you think it goes for, then see the read, where the hand is heading and why, the tiles to keep, and the tiles to pass in the Charleston, with a reason for each pass.
The skill it builds is reading a rack and committing to a direction before you know the answer. Because everyone gets the same hand on the same day, you can compare your read with the people you play with.
How a session goes
- Look at all thirteen tiles before you choose.
- Pick the category you think the hand goes for.
- Read why the hand goes where it does, then check the keepers and the passes against what you would have kept and passed.
- Open the hand in the analyzer to change a tile and see how the read moves. Past hands stay in the archive.
The rules behind it
How to read the mahjong card. How to choose a hand after the deal. What to pass in the Charleston.
