At a real table your rack is one straight row. Sideways it sits that way here too, and the tiles come out about half again as big.

Charleston Decision Tree™
The Charleston isn't about finding your hand yet. It's about not closing any doors. Pass the orphans, hold what's working, and learn to read what comes back.
How this works
You'll run a full Charleston on three different starting hands. Each time, you choose which three tiles to let go.
Six passes in order: First Charleston is Right → Across → Left. After a table vote, the Second is Left → Across → Right. Then an optional Courtesy with the player across from you.
You're not scored on picking the perfect hand. You're scored on keeping your options open: passing tiles with no partners and holding the ones that are building toward something.
Watch what comes back. After every pass, you'll see the three tiles you received. That's information.
Blind pass: on the last pass of each Charleston (Left of the First, Right of the Second) you may steal 1, 2, or all 3 tiles from the pass coming to you and send them along unseen, for when your own rack has nothing to spare.
Jokers can never be passed in the Charleston. You will still be dealt them, the same as at a real table, and this game will never ask you to give one away.
A green dot marks a working tile and a grey dot marks a tile that's fine to let go. Want to read the tiles yourself, or the dot is covering a number? Tap the Hints: On button up top to turn the dots off any time.
