Rummy Hand Checker: rules and examples
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Check a 13-card Indian Rummy hand for a valid declaration and see its grouping and penalty. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Use the rule sheet as a reference. 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. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Practice beyond the first move
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Enter the wild rank, using 1 for Ace and 11–13 for face cards. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Your objective

The playing sequence
- 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.
- Enter the wild rank, using 1 for Ace and 11–13 for face cards.
- Select Check hand. The tool checks every non-overlapping grouping under the stated two-sequence rule.
- 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
Type or paste cards, choose a wild rank and press Check hand. The sample can be edited. Use another round to revisit a decision. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.
