A "WILD CARD" is a character which is used to replace a single character, or a string of characters within or at the end of a word. Two wild card characters in use are: "*" (the asterisk symbol) and "?" (a question mark). For example: wom?n will retrieve both the words "woman" and "women", while bank* will retrieve bank, banks, banking, banker, bankrupt, etc.

Can you make canasta of sevens with a wild card?

In canasta, a meld of sevens can be made using wild cards, such as jokers or twos. However, when forming a canasta, at least one natural seven (without wild cards) must be included in the meld. Additionally, the meld must consist of a minimum of four cards to be considered a valid canasta. Therefore, while you can include wild cards, you can't create a canasta of sevens entirely out of wild cards.
