Isolated tiles are single tiles, which has no tiles numerically or categorically adjacent to them in order to form tile groups. By rule, this makes tile calling with such tiles illegal. Often, they are some of the first tiles discarded from the hand. Yet, their presence in the hand retains the potential for development. This is particularly true when the isolated tile is a [[dora]]. | |||
===Taatsu=== | |||
{{main|Taatsu}} | |||
'''Taatsu''' {{kana|塔子}} are numbered tile pairs in need of one more in order to complete a [[shuntsu|sequence]]. Examples such as 1-2 needing a 3; 3-5 needing a 4; and 6-7 needing either a 5 or 8. When developing a hand, it is often good practice to maintain these tile pairs in order to increase the chances of completing sequences and thus completing the hand. | '''Taatsu''' {{kana|塔子}} are numbered tile pairs in need of one more in order to complete a [[shuntsu|sequence]].

When developing the hand, tiles take on different shapes, especially when taatsu are involved. The hand will lean in search of particular tiles, by which some many no longer be available. They may either be discarded, have one as the [[dora|dora indicator]], or be in a player's tile call. Any tile, whose whereabouts are unknown, are considered to be '''live tiles'''. | When developing the hand, tiles take on different shapes, especially when taatsu are involved.
