 A hand in [[tenpai]] is in furiten in any of the following scenarios:
-* '''Discard furiten:''' When at least one winning tile had been discarded before, the hand enters furiten. This applies even if the hand couldn't actually win if it got that tile (due to lacking [[yaku]]). A  does not have to be in your discard pile to invoke furiten; if an opponent [[naki|called]] a tile, it will still trigger fuirten.

 Note: If a hand is in furiten, it is unable to win off ''any'' player's discard, regardless of which tile caused the furiten. For example, if your hand is waiting to win with 2p and 5p, and you had discarded 2p before, you are unable to win off an opponent's 5p.

 It is important to bear furiten in mind when developing a hand. Frequently, if a hand gets to tenpai and is furiten, then the hand was inefficiently developed. This is not always the case, however, as a player can make a correct decision but still be in furiten.
-A common reason for furiten is when a player is in tenpai with an open hand, but it has no guaranteed yaku. In these cases, the hand will only gain yaku if it draws a certain winning tile. If a different winning tile is drawn, the hand will have no yaku, and is thus forced to discard its own winning tile - entering furiten. This most commonly occurs with:

 *A [[ryanmen]] wait on 14 or 69 on a hand that would otherwise complete [[tanyao]].
-These type of cases are known as [[atozuke]].
 Finally, a player considering a [[daburu riichi|double riichi]] should carefully inspect their hand before discarding; if they had a complete hand to begin with, then being in furiten will add insult to the injury of having [[http://osamuko.com/delicious-riichi-button-must-click-it/ passed]] on a [[tenhou and chiihou|tenhou or chiihou tsumo]].
