By definition, every [[mentsu|tile group]] must include a [[terminal]] or [[jihai|honor]] tile. So combinations of tile groups involving 1-2-3, 7-8-9, 1-1-1, 9-9-9, and/or any honor [[jantou|pairs]]/[[koutsu|triplet]] qualify for chanta.

===Speed===
=== Compatibility ===
While chanta can be seen as the converse of [[tanyao]], chanta is ''much'' slower than tanyao is. This is because the simple tiles are more [[tile efficiency|efficient]]. This can be measured by [[Ukeire|tile acceptance]] - the more tiles that can be used to form a sequence/pair/triplet, the higher the tile acceptance, and the more efficient the tile (generally) is.

Chanta's pattern is similar to [[junchan]]; however, the two can never combine as junchan implies a chanta hand. [[Honroutou]] likewise implies chanta and is thus incompatible. Chanta with [[toitoi]] or [[chiitoitsu]] actually forms honroutou instead of chanta, while chanta with [[chinitsu]] is actually junchan instead of chanta.
 
Chanta is incompatible with [[tanyao]] and [[ittsu]] because both of those require a group which is not a terminal or honour -- in tanyao's case, it is required of all tiles in the hand, and for ittsu, a 4-5-6 sequence is needed.
