Summary

This poker hand ranker lets you select any 5-card hand and instantly identifies its rank — from Royal Flush down to High Card — with a plain-English explanation of why. Switch to Compare mode to pit two hands against each other and see which wins, with full tiebreaker logic applied.

How it works

  1. Click the card slots and choose a rank (A through 2) and suit (Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs) for each card.
  2. Once all 5 cards are set, the tool evaluates the hand and displays the hand name.
  3. A short explanation shows which cards make the hand and why it ranks as it does.
  4. Toggle Compare mode to build a second hand and see which hand beats the other.
  5. Use the Reset button to clear all cards and start over.
