When a hand is in tenpai:

* '''N-sided wait''' refers to the number of ''types'' of tile a hand can win with. A hand that waits for 1m and 4m would be 2-sided. The largest sided wait is [[kokushi musou]], which has a 13-sided wait.

* '''N-tiles available''' refers to the number of ''tiles'' a hand can win with. A hand that waits for 1m and 4m would wait for 8 tiles at maximum (4 copies of 1m, 4 copies of 4m). This number decreases if the winning tiles are discarded, visible in others' [[naki|tile calls]], or if the winning tiles are included in the hand. So if a hand that waits for 1m and 4m already has two copies 1m, it would wait for 6 tiles at maximum. A hand can wait with 0 tiles remaining.

Even before reaching tenpai, understanding waits are important. Wait patterns are used to form tile groups, so a hand will gather many wait patterns before reaching tenpai. Keeping better waits in your hand will allow you to [[tile efficiency|to complete your hand faster]].
