The Declaration Practice playbook

A clear plan starts with the current position. Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

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.

A focus for your next round

Begin with the objective. All cards need a non-overlapping grouping, at least two sequences and at least one pure sequence. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

The purpose of your moves

Check whether a complete 13-card hand can satisfy every declaration requirement. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Look at the complete hand before deciding.

From the start of a round

  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.

Making selections and moves

Tap the answer buttons or selected card; the deadwood exercise uses a numeric input. Next question appears after an answer. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Take a moment to read the table.

See the idea in action

Example hand: 7♦ 3♠ 3♣ 5♥ 3♣ 5♣ 5♠ 8♦ 3♦ 3♥ 5♣ Joker 4♣. Wild rank 12. All thirteen cards can be split into legal non-overlapping melds, including two sequences and a pure sequence. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

A mistake to avoid

Use the rule sheet as a reference. Do not judge only the best three cards; every remaining card matters. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
