A small practice goal
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
Your objective
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
Input guidance
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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Learn from a sample situation
A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
