A small practice goal
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your objective
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Follow these playing steps
- Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. 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.
How to interact with the game
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. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Work through an example
A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
An important reminder
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
