What counts as success
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Follow these playing steps
- Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns.
- 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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
An example to follow
A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
A common point of confusion
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
