Rummy Hand Checker: how a round works

Take a moment to read the table. 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. 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. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

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