How to use this sheet
Write each player's name at the top of a column. After each hand, every player counts the cards they took in tricks: 1 point for each heart and 13 for the queen of spades. Write each player's points in the hand's row; the row should add up to 26.
If one player took all thirteen hearts and the queen of spades, they shot the moon. Most tables write 0 for the shooter and 26 for everyone else; some take 26 off the shooter's score instead. Choose your table's rule under Shooting the moon, and the online sheet flags any hand that doesn't add up.
The game ends when a player reaches 100 points at the end of a hand, and the player with the lowest total wins. Online, the sheet waits until everyone's score for that last hand is in, then shows the winner.

Hearts questions
How do you score Hearts? At the end of each hand, each player scores 1 point for every heart they took in tricks and 13 points for the queen of spades. Points are bad: the player with the lowest total when someone reaches 100 wins.
What is shooting the moon in Hearts? Taking all thirteen hearts and the queen of spades in one hand. Instead of scoring 26, the shooter scores 0 and every other player scores 26. Some groups let the shooter take 26 off their own score instead.
How many points do you play to in Hearts? Usually 100. The game ends at the end of the hand in which someone reaches 100, and the lowest score wins. Some groups play to 50 for a shorter game; the online sheet lets you choose either.
How does passing work in Hearts? Before each hand, everyone passes three cards: to the left in the first hand, to the right in the second, across in the third, and no pass in the fourth. Then the cycle repeats.
Can you lead hearts at any time? No. Hearts cannot be led until a heart has been played on an earlier trick (hearts are broken), unless the player has nothing but hearts left.
How do you play Hearts with three or five players? Remove the 2 of diamonds for three players, or the 2 of diamonds and 2 of clubs for five, so everyone has the same number of cards. There are still 26 points in each hand.
