Canfield Solitaire: how a round works
Open Canfield Solitaire, check the instructions and begin a round. Complete four suited foundations beginning at the dealt base rank and wrapping king to ace. Use the example below to understand a decision. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Look at what changes after your first action.
Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
A focus for your next round
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Complete four suited foundations beginning at the dealt base rank and wrapping king to ace. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.
The playing sequence
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
An example before you play
With base rank 5, a foundation runs 5 through king, then ace through 4. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A common point of confusion
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. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
