What you need to achieve
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together.
- 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.
Your inputs
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.
A useful example
A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
A useful caution
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. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
