## What is Mahjong Waits Trainer?

Master multi-sided waits in riichi mahjong.

Waits Trainer is a focused quiz app for one of riichi mahjong's most important skills: reading exactly which tiles complete your hand. It includes a complete collection of multi-wait patterns for both 7-tile and 10-tile hands, so you can drill the shapes that trip players up again and again.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• Every multi-wait pattern, covered – a comprehensive set of hands with two or more winning tiles, for both 7-tile and 10-tile forms
• 7-Tile Mode – compact hands that build your foundation in the classic wait shapes
• 10-Tile Mode – larger, trickier hands where hidden waits are easy to miss
• All tile types – Man (Characters), Pin (Dots), Sou (Bamboo) and Honors

HOW IT WORKS
1. You're shown a hand.
2. Tap every tile it's waiting on.
3. Check your answer and see instantly which tiles were correct, which were wrong, and which you missed.
4. After 20 questions, review every hand you got wrong along with its correct waits.

WHY IT HELPS
Reading waits quickly and completely is the key to knowing when to declare riichi, which tile to discard, and how much a hand is really worth. Multi-sided waits are exactly where mistakes happen, and repeating the full range of patterns is the fastest way to make them second nature.

Whether you're learning your first tenpai shapes or sharpening your reads for tough hands, Waits Trainer turns wait-reading into a quick daily habit.

Read the waits. Win the hand.
