Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.
The objective of a round
Remove all 35 tableau cards. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The steps to play
- Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping.
- Click an exposed card or eligible pair to remove it.
- Draw when useful.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Keyboard and screen controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
An example before you play
Waste queen accepts jack or king. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
A useful caution
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
