Suggested Hands:
All possible hand combinations are evaluated and sorted by the highest matching tile count. Play one of these hands or any hand you want. See the combinations of hands with the most overlapping tiles. Develop your strategies selecting hands.

Large Tiles and Large Tile Font Option:
Tiles are large. Enable the Large Tile Font option to make the tiles even easier to read.

Hand Validations and Corrections:
See the closest matching pattern when you declare an unknown pattern. Tips help beginning players.

Hand Stats:
Track hands completed and your progress on the NMJL card.

Hand Filters:
Select the sections you like to play the most. Hide sections to focus on any given section. Play the whole card.

Play Against Bots or Solo:
When playing solo, the opponent bots play valid patterns and exchange jokers but do not declare Mahjong. Play until you declare Mahjong or the wall is empty in solo mode. Go to Settings to enable bots that win to practice defense.

Advanced Practice Features:
Try different strategies with Replay and Undo. Enable Open Play to disable NMJL rules and play by your own House Rules.

This is the Original American Mahjong App, 10 Years in the making.
