From the start of a round
- Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.
- 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. Use another round to revisit a decision. Look at the complete hand before deciding.
An example before you play
With two empty cells and no spare empty column, a group of at most three cards can move together. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
A useful caution
Look at the complete hand before deciding. 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.
