How Single Wait (單調將) works
Completing the hand on the pair — waiting for one specific tile to finish the eyes while all four sets are already complete.
Before the winning tile, the hand holds four finished sets plus a single tile that needs its match to become the pair. The wait is therefore for exactly one tile type. This is one of several minimal-wait fan, distinguished by the wait landing on the pair rather than within a chow or pung.
Good to know
- •All four sets are complete; the wait is to pair up the last lone tile.
- •It is a single-tile wait, distinct from edge or closed waits inside a run.
- •Only the shape of the final wait matters, not the rest of the hand's composition.
