Build eight suit foundations from ace to king. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Follow these playing steps
- Move one card at a time; build down in the same suit. Empty columns accept one card.
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
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. Look at the feedback after the action.
Work through an example
A club 5 can move onto a club 6, but a whole run cannot move together. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.
An important reminder
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
