One word can mean different things
Sequence can mean a consecutive three-card hand, while a search for “sequence list” often means the complete six-category ranking. Color means flush in Teen Patti: a shared suit. Read a standard Teen Patti sequence through its three ranks and the stated suit condition.
Read the words as one round
Players agree the boot, deal three cards, then act blind or seen. On a turn, a player can continue at the allowed chaal or pack. A show or permitted sideshow compares hands under the room’s convention. Category comes before kicker.
Use terms with examples
Open the hand comparison tool for category and kicker examples, or follow one complete Hinglish practice round. Read the chosen room’s limits and Ace convention before applying the terms.
