Give this approach a try

Look at the complete hand before deciding. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

Your objective

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use another round to revisit a decision. A clear plan starts with the current position.

Follow these playing steps

  1. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns.
  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
  3. Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Controls

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Use another round to revisit a decision. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.

A closer look at one example

A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

An important reminder

Before making a move, check the cards in view. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
