Rummy Hand Checker: rules and examples
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Check a 13-card Indian Rummy hand for a valid declaration and see its grouping and penalty. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. 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. Use another round to revisit a decision.
