How exactly must the wished card be played, and can I play it alone?

Consistent across many posts, but the rulebook doesn't address it in detail.

You may play the wished rank in any legal way that matches what is on the table: if the Mah Jong was led as a single, the wished card is played as a single, even if that breaks a pair or triple. You may play just the wished card rather than the strongest combination containing it, and any legal combination containing it satisfies the wish.
