Explanation: 

✅ Correct Answer: C FFF 1111 234 5555

Congratulations! This hand is valid, even though it uses numbers four through eight.

The card specifies “Any 5 Consec. Nos.” so this arrangement qualifies. If a player exposes two Kongs that are five numbers apart, watch for this Line.

❌ Answer A)  FFF 2026 222 6666”

The tiles are correct in this hand, but the suits are not. This hand uses only two suits, while the card clearly requires “Any 3 Suits.”

❌ Answer B) 1111 FFFFFF 1111

We caught you on the Sextet! If you look closely at the image, you’ll see it’s arranged with two Pungs of Flowers rather than a single Sextet, as shown on the card. This might work until you’re ready to Mah Jongg, but before you expose or declare a win, confirm the Flower arrangement carefully!

❌ Answer D) FFF NNNN FFF DDDD

This answer also checks your Sextet awareness, laying out the hand with the Flowers as a Sextet when in fact it should be two Pungs of Flowers. Be careful to double-check the card before exposing Flowers or declaring Mah Jongg!

Key Takeaway: There are a lot of fine details on this year’s card. Be sure to pay close attention as you build your hands and before you declare Mah Jongg.
