Question: During the game, can I call a tile to expose 2022 or a NEWS?

Answer: A player may not call to expose a group of single tiles unless the tile called is the winning tile that gives them Mah Jongg.  This rule also applies to pairs. A single tile defined is a stand-alone tile or a group of tiles that are not identical i.e. 2023 or NEWS. The 2022 grouping was actually two single tiles and a pair and therefore the same rule applies.
