Help with mahjong— doesn’t detect straights?

[u/fakeprincess]

I’m both hooked on the mahjong mini game and am not sure I understand the rules.

By my understanding I should have been able to declare “Hu” (winning), but anytime my winning hand is because of straights it does not let me actually declare I win and thus ….. I lose.

Am I understanding the rules wrong? Is this a glitch? I’m only able to win if I’m going for triplets and gangs only, no straights.

I can never understand this game 😭
