Recently solved hands
NEW TO OFC?
Three rows. A few rules.
Your bottom hand must beat your middle hand, and your middle must beat your top. The tricky part is making the most of all three.
What is Pineapple OFC?
Start with five cards. On each later street, receive three cards, place two and discard one until your 13-card board is complete: three on top, five in the middle and five on the bottom.
If your hands are out of strength order, you foul and lose the round (typically six points). Strong hands earn bonus points called royalties.
What changes in Fantasyland?
Make queens or better on top without fouling to enter Fantasyland under standard rules. In the next hand, receive all your cards at once and arrange them with full information.
Depending on your game’s rules and top-row strength, you may receive 13 to 17 cards. This solver supports all those hand sizes and arranges 13 cards, discarding any extras.
Why solve a Fantasyland hand?
The best poker hand is not always the best OFC arrangement. You also need to balance royalties across the rows and consider whether you can stay in Fantasyland.
Use the solver to review real hands, study placement decisions, practice your top-row choices, or discuss strategy with a coach or student.
KEEP SCORE
What is each hand worth?
These are your royalty points.

GOOD TO KNOW
A few common questions.
Can I use this during a real game?
OFC Solver is designed for training, practice and hand review. Always check your game’s rules before using assistance during live play.
How accurate is the solver?
The solver searches for the best arrangement under its scoring rules. No solver is perfect, and house rules may differ. Use the result to study and compare your decisions.
Can I share my solved hands?
Yes. Every solved hand gets a shareable URL. Copy the hand link from the result screen and send it to a friend, student or coach. Opening the link solves the same cards.
