+== Hands and yaku ==
+* Winning hands of 14 tiles contain four [[Mentsu|melds]], plus a pair
+:* Melds are specific groups of 3 tiles:
+:* The pair consists of any two identical tiles
+:* Melds and pairs cannot be of mixed suits
+* Two exceptions to this pattern: [[kokushi musou]] and [[Chii toitsu]]
-Winning hands of 14 tiles contain four melds of 3 tiles each, plus a pair. The pair consists of any two identical tiles. A three-tile meld may either be a consecutive sequence of same-suited tiles, or just any three identical tiles.
+A complete hand example:
+* {{#mjt:234m}} {{#mjt:555s}} {{#mjt:345p}} {{#mjt:111z}} {{#mjt:77z}}
-In the cases of [[kokushi musou]] and [[Chii toitsu]], however, the regular composition of the hand is ignored.
+===Yaku===
+* A winning hand must have at least one [[List of yaku|yaku]] (see [[List of yaku|the list]] for pattern examples)
-In addition, a winning hand must have at least one [[Yaku|yaku]]. A yaku is a special condition under which the win occurs, or a distinguished pattern within the hand's tiles.
