Scorpion Solitaire: from controls to your first round
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Scorpion Solitaire. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Use the example below to understand a decision. Check the rule that explains your first action. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice with a purpose
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What the game asks you to do
Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Step by step
- Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. 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.
How to interact with the game
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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
The trailing cards may be unordered, but the destination suit and rank must match. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Notice the change in the playing area.
A mistake to avoid
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
