Chantaiyao 「全帯么」 is a terminal and honor based yaku. For this yaku, every tile group must contain at least one terminal or honor tile. This yaku is more commonly referred by its shorter name, chanta 「チャンタ」.
Tile pattern

Formation
By definition, every tile group must include a terminal or honor tile. So combinations of tile groups involving 1-2-3, 7-8-9, 1-1-1, 9-9-9, and/or any honor pairs/triplet applies here. This brings about the limitations of the terminal tiles, by which they're at the ends of the 1-9 number scale. Often, this yaku is particularly made easier with tile calls; but closed hands are very much doable.

Chanta's pattern is similar to junchan; however, the two can never combine as chanta requires honor tiles, while junchan does not. Compatibility with sanshoku doukou is limited to the collection of either tile groups of 1s or 9s among the three suits; mix this combination with honor tiles, and it may have a good chance of honroutou as well. Chanta with toitoi actually forms honroutou.
