  • Step 2: Choose 3 Passes: Click to select the 3 tiles you would pass across the table.
  • Step 3: Grade Your Instincts: Compare your selected passes against the optimal game-theoretic pass calculated by our 2026 card evaluation algorithm.
  • Step 4: View Community Votes: See how thousands of other Mahjong players voted on the same dilemma.

Featured 2026 Puzzle Types & Tactical Dilemmas

Puzzles are carefully crafted to train specific high-pressure table dilemmas:

  1. Split-Suit 2026 Dilemmas: Holding pairs of 2-Craks and 6-Bams with White Dragons—do you commit to a 2-color Year Hand or pivot to 2-4-6-8 Evens?
  2. Consecutive Run vs. Multiples (369): Deciding whether to keep 3-4-5 connectors or transition into high-density 3-6-9 lines.
  3. The Blind Pass Pivot: Situations where you hold only 2 safe discards and must decide whether to pass blind or sacrifice a potential connector tile.
  4. High-Value Like Number Clusters: Evaluating 3 matching numbers across all three suits with Dragon kickers.
