Higher

Same rank

A same-rank card is a push: it counts for neither side.

Cards left in the deck

    How it works

    One shuffled 52-card deck, ace low and king high. Each guess uses up a card, so the odds change as the deck shrinks.

    The odds count the cards still in the deck: the ones above, the ones below and the ones with the same rank as the card shown.

    A game is 51 guesses. At the end the page shows what always picking the likelier side would have scored on your exact deck.

    The shuffle uses your browser's own random numbers. Nothing you do here leaves the page or is kept.
