What you are aiming for
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The order of play
- 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.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Choosing and moving on screen
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 one clear input at a time.
An example before you play
With two empty cells and no spare empty column, a group of at most three cards can move together. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
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.
