Practice beyond the first move
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.
What you need to achieve
Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Using the playing area
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. Look at the feedback after the action.

The trailing cards may be unordered, but the destination suit and rank must match. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
A common point of confusion
