Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.

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

Complete four suited foundations beginning at the dealt base rank and wrapping king to ace.

Step by step

1. Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically.
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

With base rank 5, a foundation runs 5 through king, then ace through 4.

Watch out for this

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