Practice beyond the first move
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
What the game asks you to do
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
How to proceed
- 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 your actions work
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. Use one clear input at a time.

A useful caution
