One thing to notice as you play
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The goal to keep in mind
Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
How a round unfolds
- Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. 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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
An example to follow
The trailing cards may be unordered, but the destination suit and rank must match. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
An important reminder
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
