Suji relies on the fact that a player is using a [[ryanmen]] wait, or a related wait like [[ryanmenten]], [[nobetan]], or [[sanmentan]]. Ryanmen itself appears in around ~50% of winning hands, which is common, but not even close to guaranteed. Hands that do not use ryanmen, like [[toitoi]] and [[chiitoitsu]], are immune to suji.

The middle tiles (4,5,6) have two suji intervals to account for. For example, a 4 has two suji in 1-4 and 4-7. A discarded 1 does not make 4 much safer. In order for 4 to be a "full" suji, both 1 and 7 have to be safe.

Not all suji are equally safe. This is because some tiles can be targeted by [[kanchan]] (24) or [[penchan]] (12) waits.
