Try a more deliberate round
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The objective of a round
Complete four suited foundations beginning at the dealt base rank and wrapping king to ace. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
How to proceed
- Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically.
- 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 to interact with the game
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. Look at the feedback after the action.
An example to follow
With base rank 5, a foundation runs 5 through king, then ace through 4. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.
Pay attention to this rule
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. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
