*The most common type of wait is an [[ryanmen|open]] [[wait]] (i.e. a [[ryanmen]] wait).

*[[Shuntsu|Sequences]] are comprised of three sequential tiles. Therefore, an open wait will win off two tiles that are 3-apart. For example, a {23} ryanmen can win off either a 1 or 4 of the same suit. {34} can win off 2 or 5 of the same suit. This continues until you get the intervals of: 1-4, 4-7, 2-5, 2-8, 3-6, and | *[[Shuntsu|Sequences]] are comprised of three sequential tiles.

**If an opponent discards a 4, it is ''impossible'' for an opponent to have an open wait on 1 (without being in furiten). There is only one interval for the 1, that being 1-4, which is eliminated. Therefore, the 1 is safer against that opponent. Likewise, the 7 becomes safer when a 4 is discarded, due to the 4-7 interval being impossible. | **If an opponent discards a 4, it is ''impossible'' for an opponent to have an open wait on 1 (without being in furiten).

**If an opponent discards a 1, it is not impossible for an opponent to have an open wait on 4. There are two different intervals for 4: 1-4 and 4-7. After discarding a 1, an opponent could still have an open wait on 4-7 interval. In order for the 4 to be a "full" suji, both 1 and 7 have to be discarded. The same logic applies to tiles numbered 5 and 6. | **If an opponent discards a 1, it is not impossible for an opponent to have an open wait on 4.
