Ryanmen always waits for two tiles. In addition, two ryanmen patterns may combine to form a [[ryanmenten]], which waits for 3 tiles instead of two. | |||

Due to its relatively ease, the ryanmen pattern is not awarded any fu.

The inability to gain fu based on ryanmen makes it an essential component to the yaku, [[pinfu]]. The yaku, [[pinfu]], requires ryanmen, because the waiting pattern does not produce fu. [[Ryanmenten]] is also allowed, as nested ryanmen do not produce fu either. | ||

Ryanmen is the most common wait pattern, due to both convenience and probability. | |||

In this example, the consecutive 2-3 needs either of the two waiting tiles in order to complete the sequence. The 1 and 4 is included in the 1-4-7 interval. | In this example, the consecutive 2-3 needs either of the two waiting tiles in order to complete the sequence.

Due to the ease of use, ryanmen waits are by far the most commonly used wait pattern. Its biggest advantage stems on the maximum 8-tile count on two tile types. This is assuming both types are live tiles. In addition, the yaku pinfu requires ryanmen. making it one of the more frequently used yaku. As a two-tile pattern to complete a sequence, it is also a very compact shape leaving plenty of room to develop numerous hand patterns with the rest of the hand. In other words, it is a very efficient waiting pattern to use. This concept is applicable whether the hand is tenpai or not. | |||
