Some suji are safer than others:
Some suji are safer than others:
*Suji terminals (1 and 9) are the safest, as they can only be targeted by a [[tanki]] or [[shanpon]].
*Suji terminals (1 and 9) are the safest, as they can only be targeted by a [[tanki]] or [[shanpon]].
*Suji 2 and 8, as well as double-suji of 4/5/6, are the next safest. They can be targeted by a tanki, shanpon, or kanchan.
*Suji 2 and 8, as well as full suji of 4/5/6, are the next safest. They can be targeted by a tanki, shanpon, or [[kanchan]].
*Suji 3 and 7 are the most dangerous, though still reasonably safe. They can be targeted by a tanki, shanpon, kanchan, or penchan.

Note that "half suji" tiles are not much safer than a regular tile. For instance, if a player has discarded 7-pin, 4-pin is not safe, because the 1-4 suji is not safe. In order for 4 to be considered suji, both 1-pin and 7-pin have to be safe.

Using suji on the riichi declaration tile is more dangerous than normal. This is because of the ryankan shape (e.g. 135, 246, or 357). Ryankans are often kept as they can improve [[tile efficiency]]. But if the hand reaches tenpai with a ryankan intact, then it must discard one of the tiles. In this case, a player can discard the 5 and wait on the suji tile 2.
