Take a moment to read the table. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Begin with the objective. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.

Your objective

Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Before making a move, check the cards in view.

Making your moves

  1. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns.
  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
  3. Complete same-suit king-to-ace runs to clear them from the tableau.
  4. 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. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.

Follow the example

The trailing cards may be unordered, but the destination suit and rank must match. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Where a round can go wrong

Work at your own pace. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Use another round to revisit a decision.
