Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
Give this approach a try
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.
What you are aiming for
Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
How a round unfolds
- Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable 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.
How your actions work
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. Check any mode label before starting.
An example before you play
A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
An important reminder
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
