A focus for your next round
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Keep the objective visible.
The purpose of your moves
Complete four suited foundations beginning at the dealt base rank and wrapping king to ace. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.
Step by step
- Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
With base rank 5, a foundation runs 5 through king, then ace through 4. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.
A mistake to avoid
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
