Rummy Hand Checker: a guide for your next round

A focus for your next round

For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Enter the wild rank, using 1 for Ace and 11–13 for face cards. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

The objective of a round

Check a 13-card Indian Rummy hand for a valid declaration and see its grouping and penalty. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Work at your own pace.

Start here and follow along

  1. 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.
  2. Enter the wild rank, using 1 for Ace and 11–13 for face cards.
  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Type or paste cards, choose a wild rank and press Check hand. The sample can be edited. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. For a calm first round, focus on one decision.

An example to follow

3H 4H 5H 7S 8S JK 9C 9H 9D KC KH KD KS with rank 2 wild is a valid declaration. Use another round to revisit a decision.

An important reminder

Work at your own pace. The wild rank changes which cards can substitute. Always set it before relying on the result. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
