A normal hand needs four tile groups and a pair - thus, it needs five blocks. The goal of five-block theory is to identify a hand's blocks, and try to improve the weakest blocks. Prefer having five strong blocks rather than six blocks. | A normal hand needs four tile groups and a pair - thus, it needs five blocks.

When four blocks are complete (e.g. three tile groups, one pair), a hand will be in [[tenpai]], where the hand waits to complete the fifth block. | When four blocks are complete (e.g. three tile groups, one pair), a hand will be in [[tenpai]], where the hand waits to complete the fifth block. Since the weakest block is likely to complete last, and a hand in tenpai waits on the last block, it's best to improve the weakest block first. Also, identifying blocks can help with identifying tenpai. | ||
