You see two five-card hands and pick the one that wins. The answer comes straight away with the names of both hands, and the quiz keeps your streak and accuracy as you go.
What is the order of poker hands from best to worst?
Royal flush, straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, one pair, high card. Each hand beats every hand below it.
What is the fastest way to learn poker hand rankings?
Read the order once, then test yourself on real hands until you can pick the winner without thinking. Watch the middle of the list, where a flush beats a straight and a full house beats a flush.

Yes. Every round shuffles a full deck and deals five different cards to each hand. If the two hands tie exactly, it deals again, so there is always one winner.
