The challenge in front of you
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Controls
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. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Put the rules into context
A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Check this before moving on
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. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
