Choose one small skill.
Start with Chunking Reps, Target Hands, Guided Charleston, Discard Reading, Pivot Moments, Call Reflex, Coached Replay, or Full Hand Play.
Patient American Mahjong coach
Mahjong Ready shows which tiles matter, translates the card into plain English, and gives learners short practice sessions — without streaks, ads, accounts, or tracking.
Tap 3 tiles to pass. Protect your pairs and groups; let the loose tiles go.
This is how every session in the app feels: one decision, calm feedback, no timer.
How it works
Each session keeps the learner close to the real table: the rack, the card, the pass, the discard, and the reason behind the choice.
Start with Chunking Reps, Target Hands, Guided Charleston, Discard Reading, Pivot Moments, Call Reflex, Coached Replay, or Full Hand Play.
The coach highlights candidate groups, translates card notation, and makes abstract hand shapes visible.
Plain-English explanations and mistake replay help the learner understand the choice without a timer, leaderboard, or streak.
What testers noticed
Panelists responded to the pieces that made the table feel less abstract: visible tile groups, guided Charleston movement, card-to-rack translation, and comfort controls that stayed out of the way.
Why it clicked
Pungs, pairs, loose tiles, and protected groups get named and highlighted in the same view.
Pass direction, outgoing tiles, and incoming tiles stay connected instead of becoming table chatter.
Notation, tile translation, and candidate hands sit close together so learners can compare before committing.
Larger tiles, simple home, VoiceOver support, and no-pressure practice are treated as normal product quality.
Practice system
The app breaks American Mahjong into visible, repeatable decisions so learners build table confidence a little at a time.
Train your eye to spot pungs, pairs, jokers, and gaps before you ever think about full hands.
The coach points at pungs, pairs, jokers, gaps, and safer discards so the learner's eye learns what to notice.
Short rounds of spotting groups on real racks, so reading fourteen tiles becomes automatic instead of overwhelming.
The pass stops being a mystery when every part of it stays visible at once.
Pass direction, outgoing tiles, incoming tiles, and rack direction stay visible together, reducing the mystery of the table flow.
The coach shows which tiles support a direction for your rack and which are safe to give away — just like the demo above.
Pick a realistic target hand and learn how to steer a messy rack toward it.
Original hands teach transferable skills: reading categories, spotting groups, choosing targets, pivoting, and using jokers.
Card notation is translated into visible tile groups right beside your rack, so abstract shorthand becomes something you can see.
Learn what the table is telling you — and when to act on it.
Practice spotting safer discards and dangerous ones, with the coach explaining what each thrown tile reveals.
Quick decisions about when to call a discard and when to let it go, building the reflex before it costs you at the table.
Put it all together in a complete, friendly game — at your pace.
Play complete hands against patient bots with no timers — the whole game loop, from deal to mahjong, with help available.
Review a choice after it happens with the context still on screen, then practice the next decision when ready.
Designed for real eyes, real hands, and real tables.
One toggle makes every tile bigger and the home screen simpler — built for comfort, not buried in settings.
Full VoiceOver support, strong contrast, generous tap targets — and the whole app works with no internet at all.
