How to play Rummy Hand Checker

Keep the active rule in mind. Check a 13-card Indian Rummy hand for a valid declaration and see its grouping and penalty. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Take a moment to read the table. Enter 13 cards separated by spaces. Use A, 2–10, J, Q, K with S, H, C or D; use JK for a printed joker. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Something to practise

Use the rule sheet as a reference. Enter the wild rank, using 1 for Ace and 11–13 for face cards. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Making your moves

  3. Select Check hand. The tool checks every non-overlapping grouping under the stated two-sequence rule.
  4. Review the result, pure sequences and remaining cards. Duplicate suited cards may appear at most twice; at most two printed jokers are allowed.

Getting comfortable with the controls

A useful caution
