Usually one pure sequence alone is not enough. Common rules also require another sequence or valid groups for all remaining cards.
Your declaration may be invalid because the pure sequence is missing, joker placement is wrong, a set has duplicate suit issues, or loose cards remain.
An impure sequence is a same-suit run completed with a joker. It helps, but it does not usually replace the mandatory pure sequence.
Second life usually means the second required sequence, which may be pure or impure depending on the rules.
First life usually refers to the mandatory pure sequence that gives the hand a valid foundation. I secure it before chasing sets.
Common 13-card Rummy rules require at least two sequences, including one pure sequence. Check the exact app rule screen before declaring.
Drop means leaving the hand under the table rules, often to control point risk.
