  2. Choose which end to use.
  3. Draw only when no tile fits.
  4. Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.

An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.

Watch out for this

You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
