Rules, controls and help for Pure Sequence Practice

One thing to notice as you play

A clear plan starts with the current position. A wild-rank card can be natural in a pure sequence; a printed joker cannot. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Your goal

Identify same-suit consecutive cards without substituting jokers. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Work at your own pace.

From the start of a round

  1. Start a 10-question session. Read the visible rule label and wild rank, if shown.
  2. A wild-rank card can be natural in a pure sequence; a printed joker cannot.
  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.

How to use the controls

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. Before making a move, check the cards in view.

See the idea in action

Example hand: 6♠ 8♦ 7♦. Wild rank 4. The cards do not form a consecutive same-suit run without substitutions. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Pay attention to this rule

For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Do not call a group pure merely because its ranks look close. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
