Mistake-aware practice
Read the common mistake below before starting. Watch for that situation during the round rather than relying on trial and error.
Your goal
Build four suit foundations from ace to king.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown.
A useful example
With two empty cells and no spare empty column, a group of at most three cards can move together.
Watch out for this
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy.
