Put a hand puzzle on your own page

Teachers and publishers can embed the kicker puzzle below. It has no signup, game-save access, or compulsory attribution link. Google Analytics also measures visits to embedded puzzles. The frame scrolls when the explanation opens; visitors can also use the normal full-page puzzle.

You may substitute another puzzle name from this page. Preview the mini-puzzle before adding it to your site.

Same puzzle, every time

Each hand has its own stable URL, so a friend sees the same board and cards. The shared URL contains only a puzzle name, not your account, chips, progress, or personal save code.

These puzzles have no XP reward and don’t publish a score. Try the ten-hand trainer for hand recognition, or the in-game skill academy for progression-linked lessons.
