==The fifth tile case==
==The fifth tile case==
The term is often confused with the "fifth tile" case.  Here, a hand waiting for a fourth tile that is simply hidden, discarded, or used by someone else remains a valid tenpai in all circumstances. A hand may contain a 1-2 [[Penchan|penchan]] and a previously declared [[Kan|kan]] of 3-3-3-3 in the same suit.  This renders the threes unavailable as winning tiles. Some platforms would consider this case as tenpai, while others may deem it as noten.  As always, this depends on the rule variations.
