In Riichi Mahjong, "sticky iishanten" refers to a hand that is one tile away from tenpai (ready to win) but is difficult to improve due to limited tile draws or discards that would advance it. The term "sticky" highlights the hand's tendency to "stick" at iishanten (one tile from tenpai) because the tiles needed to reach tenpai are either already discarded, in other players' hands, or unlikely to be drawn. This often happens with complex or inflexible hand structures, such as those relying on specific pairs or sequences that are hard to complete.

For example, a hand with multiple disconnected pairs or a mix of tiles that don’t easily form melds might be considered "sticky iishanten." Players in this situation may struggle to decide whether to push for tenpai or switch to a defensive strategy, as improving the hand feels stagnant. The term is informal, often used in player discussions to describe this frustrating state.
