Pick a table
Every difficulty uses 104 cards and the same ten-column layout. One suit removes mixed-suit complications while you learn the controls. Choose Play Spider for one suit, 2 Suits for spades and hearts, or 4 Suits for all four suits. Changing difficulty opens that mode's own saved game when local saving is enabled.
Tableau and stock
On this website, the following points apply. Six cards are dealt to each of the first four columns and five to each remaining column. The tableau begins with 54 cards in ten columns. The stock holds fifty cards for five later deals of ten. Only the bottom card of each starting column is face up.
Make a single-card move
Here is what to know. An empty column accepts any exposed card, including a King or Ace. Suit does not restrict a single card's destination when the ranks fit. Choose an exposed card and place it on an exposed card one rank higher. A nine can move onto a ten, and a Jack can move onto a Queen.
Select a legal sequence
Keep these details in mind. A shorter valid segment at the bottom may still be moved separately. Cards move together only when they are face up, in one suit and descending by single ranks. A break in suit or rank means the entire selected group cannot move as a unit. Select the highest card of the group you want to move.
Turn the next card over
Undoing the move restores the previous face-down state when appropriate. You do not need a separate flip action. Moving every face-up card away from a hidden card reveals that hidden card automatically. The newly revealed card may provide a useful destination or a new group to build.
Use empty columns
Here is what to know. Fill all empty columns before dealing a new row from the stock. Any movable sequence can be placed into an empty column. A King cannot land on another card, so it needs an empty destination. Empty columns are useful for separating mixed suits and making hidden cards accessible.
Deal another row
Here is what to know. Undo can restore the tableau and stock to their state before that deal. A successful stock deal counts as one move in this game's counter. Activate the stock button to add one face-up card to every column. A deal is refused if any column is empty.
Finish a sequence
Keep these details in mind. A mixed-suit sequence does not qualify even if every rank is present in descending order. The game automatically removes that complete sequence. Arrange thirteen face-up cards of one suit from King down to Ace at the bottom of a column. Collect eight qualifying sequences to win.
Use the controls
Keep these details in mind. Keyboard users can focus face-up cards and activate them with Enter or Space. Click or tap a movable card and then a destination column, or drag the selection directly. Left and right arrow keys move focus between columns, and Escape clears a selection. The menu, stock and game controls also work with normal keyboard focus.
Choose the next step
Keep these details in mind. Replay starts the current shuffle again, while New game creates a fresh shuffle. Undo reverses recent successful actions while the stored undo history is available. Saving is local to this browser and difficulty, and can be disabled in Privacy & Cookie Settings. The Hint feature suggests a legal option without guaranteeing that the deal can be won.
