What the game asks you to do
Build eight suit foundations from ace to king. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
Input guidance
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A closer look at one example
A club 5 can move onto a club 6, but a whole run cannot move together. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
One detail worth checking
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. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
