Give this approach a try
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Build eight suit foundations from ace to king. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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.
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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
See the idea in action
A club 5 can move onto a club 6, but a whole run cannot move together. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
A useful caution
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.
