Daily puzzle · UTC

Riichi Daily

One closed hand of fourteen tiles. Which tile would you discard? A new hand every day at 00:00 UTC — the same hand for every player in the world.

How the answer is decided

Shanten is the number of tiles you still need before the hand is tenpai (one tile from winning). A lower number is better.

Ukeire counts the tiles that would lower your shanten, minus the copies you already hold. More is better.

Seven pairs and thirteen orphans are counted too. Today's hands use the three suits only, with no calls and no red fives.
