WWYD: What Would You Discard?

Efficiency · One of 5 Core Skill Dimensions

What is a WWYD drill?

"What Would You Discard" (WWYD) presents a live hand and asks you to pick the most efficient discard — the same way chess puzzles or Aim Lab routines isolate one measurable skill and drill it in short, focused reps. On Malinguo, WWYD trains Efficiency, one of the five core skill dimensions behind your overall rating (alongside Tile Vision, Reading, Mental Game, and Decision-Making).

How the trainer works

· Instant scoring: every discard choice is graded immediately against the mathematically optimal play, computed by Malinguo's own rules engine;

· Explanation, not just a verdict: coach Mabao shows why one discard keeps more winning shapes open than another;

· Rule-set aware: efficiency drills adapt to the rule set you're training, including Riichi and 12 other regional variants;

· Progress tracking: your Efficiency rating updates after every session so you can see improvement over time.

FAQ

Do I need to know a specific rule set to start WWYD drills?
No — efficiency fundamentals transfer across rule sets. Beginners can start with general drills before specializing.

Is there any wagering or real money involved in WWYD drills?
No. WWYD is a solo training drill against puzzle positions, not a match — there is no gambling, no wagering, and no real-money play anywhere in Malinguo.
