What counts as success

Check a 13-card Indian Rummy hand for a valid declaration and see its grouping and penalty. Use another round to revisit a decision. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.

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.
