Sanmentan is a three-sided tanki wait (wait for a pair), an extension of the two-sided nobetan. It is formed with a string of seven consecutive tiles. A sanmentan always waits along an entire suji interval, either 1-4-7, 2-5-8, and 3-6-9.

Tile pattern

  • Agari: , , or

Fu

Since the pattern seeks to complete the pair, this pattern is awarded 2 fu. It counts as a tanki wait, despite being multi-sided.

Development

This waiting pattern is always a string of 7 numbered tiles, which can be interpreted as 2 sequences + 1 lone tile on either end of the sequence. To determine the tile wait with this pattern, especially when a hybrid complex pattern is involved, the player needs to identify which tile will be the paired tile in the hand.
