Understand the aim
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
The order of play
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Try this example
A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
A mistake to avoid
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
