Write the rule card first
| Question | What must be settled |
|---|---|
| Wild ranks | Confirm A, K, 4 and 7 and all relevant suits. |
| Substitution | Can a wild card represent a card already present? |
| Natural hands | Does a natural hand outrank an equal substituted hand? |
| Evaluation | Which exact category hierarchy applies? |
An original worked exercise
In Q♠ Q♥ 4♦, treating the four as a queen can create a trio under a substitution rule. In the classic no-joker game, the same printed cards form only a pair. This difference is why a classic comparator should not silently evaluate a wildcard table.
Test an edge case before starting
Pick a second example that stresses the rule: an ace, a wild card, equivalent final hands or an extra-card choice. Ask every learner to explain the result. A disagreement is useful evidence that the written rule needs more detail. Resolve it before dealing more examples.
Classic tools have a boundary
The browser hand comparator supports three-card classic no-joker hands only. It must not be used as a decision engine for this variant unless the exercise reduces to a supported classic hand after an explicitly defined selection.
