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.

* A | * As a hand lowers its shanten, its tile acceptance lowers. A 2-shanten hand will have a higher acceptance than 1-shanten hand, meaning it is faster to progress from 2-shanten -> 1-shanten than it is 1-shanten -> tenpai. | ||
* | * While a hand in tenpai has an even lower # tile acceptance, it can call [[ron]] freely, which adds a lot to hand speed. | ||
Therefore, maximizing acceptance at 1-shanten is ''typically'' best for [[tile efficiency]]. | Therefore, maximizing acceptance at 1-shanten is ''typically'' best for [[tile efficiency]]. | ||
