One face-up deck. Transfer capacity counts available cells and spare empty columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
Give this approach a try
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you need to achieve
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Start here and follow along
- Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal 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.
Input guidance
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Try this example
With two empty cells and no spare empty column, a group of at most three cards can move together. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
Check this before moving on
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. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
