Of course, knowing the hand's [[tile acceptance]] is also important. A 1-shanten hand with tile acceptance = 2 is worse than a 2-shanten hand with tile acceptance = 20. | Of course, knowing the hand's [[tile acceptance]] is also important.

1-shanten is the slowest part of most hands. | Going from 1-shanten to tenpai is the slowest part of most hands. | ||
* A hand that is 2-shanten (or higher) will have a higher # tile acceptance. Therefore, it is faster to progress from 2-shanten -> 1-shanten than it is 1-shanten -> tenpai. | |||
* A hand in tenpai has a lower # tile acceptance, but it can call [[ron]] freely, which adds a lot to hand speed. | |||
Therefore, maximizing acceptance at 1-shanten is ''typically'' best for [[tile efficiency]]. | |||
