All Honors (字一色)
Every tile in the hand is an honor tile (wind or dragon). No suited tiles.
How All Honors (字一色) works
A hand composed entirely of honor tiles — winds and dragons only — with no numbered suit tiles at all.
Every set and the pair must be made from the seven honor types, which forces the hand into an all-pungs (or kong) shape since honors cannot form sequences. It is a rare limit-tier pattern — effectively the honors-only special case of All Terminals and Honors, which also admits the 1 and 9 terminal tiles; an all-honor hand qualifies as the higher-scoring of the two. Hands of this kind frequently overlap with wind and dragon patterns like Small Four Winds or Three Dragons.
- •No dots, bamboo, or characters may appear — not even terminals.
- •Because honors only form triplets and a pair, the hand is inherently All Pungs.
- •It is distinct from All Terminals and Honors, which allows 1s and 9s of the suits.
All Honors (字一色) — FAQ
Can a 1 or 9 tile be included?
No. Any numbered tile, even a terminal, disqualifies All Honors and moves the hand into the lower All Terminals and Honors pattern.
Is this always an all-pungs hand?
Yes. Honor tiles cannot make sequences, so the hand can only consist of triplets, kongs, and a pair.
