Yakuhai tiles - those being any dragon, a player's seat wind, or the round wind - are an easy way to score points. A triplet of any yakuhai is a [[yaku]] worth 1 han, and a pair is worth 2 [[fu]]. Calling [[pon]] on a yakuhai is an easy way to gain a yaku, allowing any hand to bypass the yaku requirement to win.
A triplet of yakuhai tiles - those being any dragon, a player's seat wind, or the round wind - is an easy way to meet the yaku requirement. A yakuhai pair is easy to [[pon]] into a triplet, and a triplet is worth 1 han on its own.


Calling pon on a guest wind, however, is extremely limiting to the hand. The triplet of guest wind is not worth any han, prevents you from scoring [[tanyao]] or [[pinfu]]. In addition, calling pon at all prevents you from calling [[riichi]] later on. Since guest winds can only be used in triplets, and since a triplet of them is not worth a yaku, they are considered the worst tiles for [[tile efficiency]]. A guest wind triplet is still a valid tile group, though.
