Mahjong Quiz A serious training app for mastering Japanese (Riichi) Mahjong yaku, scoring, and reading waits. Struggling with scoring? Can't spot your waits at a glance? You're not alone. This app breaks yaku, han counting, han & fu reading, scoring, and wait recognition into 6 levels you can practice again and again with fun quizzes. It also includes a Hand Scanner: just take a photo of your hand to get its yaku, han, fu, and points. ■ Level up step by step with 6 quiz modes [Lv.0 How many han?] See a yaku name and answer how many han it is worth. An introductory mode for memorizing yaku values. [Lv.1 Which yaku?] Look at a winning hand and identify its yaku. Covers basic and combined yaku, including hands with calls (chi, pon). Switch between "Combined" (select all yaku at once) and "Individual" (select one at a time) answer styles. [Lv.2 Han & Fu?] Read the han and fu of a winning hand. You'll naturally learn how han add up and how fu are counted (melds, wait shapes, and how the hand was won). Hands of mangan or higher can be set to "Han only". [Lv.3 Points? - Score Table] Given han and fu, answer the payment for dealer/non-dealer and ron/tsumo. Train your score table memory, including rounding up to the nearest 100 and mangan through yakuman. [Lv.4 Points? - Winning Hand] An all-round mode: look at a winning hand, judge its yaku, han & fu, and answer the final points. A "Show yaku" hint is available. [Lv.5 What's the wait?] Look at a tenpai hand and find its winning tiles. From basic ryanmen, kanchan, and shanpon waits to irregular three-sided waits and the nine-sided Chuuren Poutou wait. All winning tiles are shown after you answer. ■ Realistic, game-like questions Includes 100 winning hands and 100 tenpai hands. Conditions such as dealer/non-dealer, ron/tsumo, seat and round wind, dora, ura-dora, red fives, riichi, ippatsu, and calls (chi, pon, kan) are shown at a glance. Covers everything from tanyao, pinfu, and yakuhai to sanshoku, ittsu, chanta, and yakuman such as kokushi musou and daisangen. ■ Hand Scanner Take a photo of your hand or pick one from your library, and AI recognizes the tiles and calculates yaku, han, fu, and points automatically. - Choose between high-accuracy "Cloud AI" and fast, offline-capable "Our AI" - Tap any tile to correct it; the result recalculates automatically - Set dealer/non-dealer, ron/tsumo, round and seat wind, riichi, ippatsu, dora count, and calls Perfect for checking scores after a real game. ■ Customize how you learn - Number of choices (4, 6, 8, or 10) - Auto-advance after a correct answer (manual or 1-3 seconds) - Question order (random, ascending, descending) - Daily practice reminder at a time you choose - Languages: Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese ■ Track your progress The activity calendar shows the days you practiced, and per-mode accuracy shows your strengths and weaknesses.
