Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Remove all 35 tableau cards. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- 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.
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. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
Waste queen accepts jack or king. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
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. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
