Keep the active rule in mind. 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.

The objective of a round

Check a 13-card Indian Rummy hand for a valid declaration and see its grouping and penalty. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Look at the complete hand before deciding.

The order of play

  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.
