Your objective
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.
Making your moves
- Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns.
- 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.
Your inputs
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
Learn from a sample situation
A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Where a round can go wrong
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
