Understand the aim
Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The playing sequence
- 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.
Keyboard and screen controls

An example to follow
The trailing cards may be unordered, but the destination suit and rank must match. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
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. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
