Already holding a pair? This compact guide shows which numbered tiles you will not need when scanning the 2026 NMJL card for hands built around that pair.
Use it as a shortcut, then confirm the exact line on your official card.
How to use the pair guide
- Find the pair you are holding in the left column.
- Read across to see which numbered tiles the guide rules out for that pair.
- Return to the official card to confirm the hand you are pursuing before you discard.
Why the 5s row is blank
A pair of 5s does not eliminate another numbered tile from consideration in this guide, so keep every number in play while you scan the card.
