In addition to the hands listed above, 7-pairs versions are supported for the following hands (for each hand, a separate option specifies, whether a 7-pairs version is allowed): All Green (Classical category), Jade Hand, Ruby Hand, Pearl Hand, Ruby Jade and All Red (American hands category), and Jade Dragon, Ruby Dragon and Pearl Dragon (Miscellaneous category). Note that e.g. All even and All odd (in the Patterns based on the whole hand category) hands can be combined with Seven pairs hand (but if Seven pairs is not enabled, seven-pairs versions of these hands are not recognized).

Note: You can specify whether identical pairs are allowed in 7-pairs hands by using the Allow identical pairs option on the of the Limit & Special Hands option page (under Scoring section in the category tree of the Preferences dialog box). Note that this option is common to all applicable 7-pairs hands: Seven Pairs, All Honor Pairs, All Terminal and Honor Pairs, All One Suit Pairs, One Suit and Honor Pairs, One Suit Terminal and Honor Pairs and Ruby Jade. The setting is applied also to All Green, if White Dragons are allowed in the hand (as in this case the hand could be composed of seven different pairs). Other 7-pairs hands either require or exclude identical pairs by definition.
