How it's used

Refers specifically to the dealer's opponent winning on the very first tile discarded by the dealer. It is considered an extremely rare and auspicious event in mahjong culture, often associated with immense luck. Unlike other winning hands, it relies entirely on the initial deal and the first move of the game.

Common phrases

hoi1開guk6局dei6地wu2糊

earthly hand at the start of the game

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 天糊, which is when the dealer wins immediately upon receiving their initial hand without any discards. 地糊 requires the dealer to discard one tile first.
