A short learning break

Choose one objective for this visit: understand the controls, complete a round, or recognise a common mistake. Progress does not need to be rushed.

Your goal

Build eight suit foundations from ace to king.

Step by step

1. Move one card at a time; build down in the same suit. Empty columns accept one card.
2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
3. Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Controls

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown.

A useful example

A club 5 can move onto a club 6, but a whole run cannot move together.

Watch out for this

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy.
