Declaration Practice: rules and examples

Begin with the objective. Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Work at your own pace. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

500 stored and rule-checked questions; ten questions per session. Questions can repeat across sessions. Practice is solo, with no rating, cash reward or account.

One thing to notice as you play

A clear plan starts with the current position. All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence. Use another round to revisit a decision.

What counts as success

Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.

The order of play

  1. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown.
  2. All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence.
  3. Study the complete hand before answering. Choose Valid or Not valid.
  4. Read the explanation after submitting. Each question accepts one submitted answer.
  5. Continue to the tenth question for a session score; start another session for a new selection.

Input guidance

Tap the answer buttons or selected card; the deadwood exercise uses a numeric input. Next question appears after an answer. Use another round to revisit a decision. A clear plan starts with the current position.

Follow the example

Example hand: 8♠ Q♥ 7♥ 2♠ A♦ J♠ 8♦ 7♥ J♦ 10♠ 3♥ 3♦ K♥. Wild rank 8. No full grouping meets the two-sequence and pure-sequence requirement. The penalty for this hand is 80 points. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Where a round can go wrong

Before making a move, check the cards in view. Do not judge only the best three cards; every remaining card matters. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

Which format is available?

500 stored and rule-checked questions; ten questions per session. Questions can repeat across sessions. Practice is solo, with no rating, cash reward or account. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

What should I check before a move?

Can you give an example?

One pure run, another joker-assisted run and two complete sets can cover a valid 13-card hand. Take a moment to read the table. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

How many questions are available?

This exercise contains 500 stored questions. A session selects ten without repeating within that session. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Can I change a submitted answer?

No. Read the explanation, then continue. Start another session to practise again. A clear plan starts with the current position. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Are the answers checked against the rules?

All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Will I always see new cards?

No. The bank is finite, so another session may include a previously played question. Take a moment to read the table. Use another round to revisit a decision.

What does the score measure?

The score is the number of correct answers in this ten-question session. It is not a skill certificate or a prediction of match results. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
