'''Suji''' focuses on taking advantage of the furiten rule, and its application to the "mahjong intervals". Most two-sided or better waits will wait on tiles in the same suji, e.g. a {23} wait wins off either 1 or 4. Therefore, if a player has discarded 4-pin, the 1-pin and 7-pin become safer against that player. Neither is perfectly safe, however. | '''Suji''' focuses on taking advantage of the furiten rule, and its application to the "mahjong intervals".

Note that 4, 5, and 6 require two tiles to be considered suji. For example, discarding a 1-pin does not make 4-pin much safer, since the hand could contain a 4-7 wait. In order for 4-pin to be "full" suji, both 1-pin and 7-pin must 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. | Using suji on the riichi declaration tile is more dangerous than normal.
