Sometimes, it may be necessary to enter tenpai, even while in furiten. Often, this is the result of developing the hand and defending simultaneously.

To exit discard furiten, you can change the hand's [[wait]] so that it can no longer win off any of the discarded tiles. Alternatively, you can rely on tsumo rather than ron.
To exit discard furiten, you can change the hand's [[wait]] so that it can no longer win off any of the discarded tiles. For example:
 
:{{#mjt:22288m23p3456'78s}} Draw: {{#mjt:3p}} Waiting for: {{#mjt:14p}} (furiten)
 
If the hand had discarded {{#mjt:1p}} previously, it would be in furiten. By drawing {{#mjt:3p}} and discarding {{#mjt:2p}}, it now waits on {{#mjt:3p}} and {{#mjt:8m}}. Thus, the hand is no longer waiting on {{#mjt:1p}}, and is no longer in furiten.
 
Alternatively, a hand can rely on tsumo to win. With a 3-sided wait, this is feasible, and even a 2-sided furiten is strong.


Rarely, a hand in [[damaten]] can intentionally enter furiten. In this case, the hand is in tenpai, but after a winning tile is drawn, the player does not declare a win but declares riichi - immediately entering furiten. This may be done to score [[pinfu]] + [[mentsumo]] in all last.
