'''Shuntsu''' {{kana|順子}} ("sequence") is a tile group consisting of three consecutive number tiles. Note that 9 does not "wrap around" to 1 - you cannot have sequences of "891" or "912". In addition, you cannot make sequences by using honor tiles.

Closed sequences are called '''anjun''' {{kana|暗順}}. The open variety are '''minjun''' {{kana|明順}}. To form a '''minjun''', players are limited to calling tiles from [[kamicha]], or the player from the left. Discarded tiles from the other two players, that are needed to complete this meld cannot be called upon. Furthermore, an added restriction is applied by [[kuikae]], which applies to calls off of previously completed sequences.

'''Kantsu''' {{kana|槓子}} ("quads") are special - in order to count as a proper tile group, a player must declare "[[kan]]". Kan is a special [[Naki|tile call]] with its own set of procedures: first, the four-of-a-kind must be set aside, then a player must draw a replacement tile.
