The objective of a round
Remove all 35 tableau cards. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
How to proceed
- Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping.
- Click an exposed card or eligible pair to remove it.
- Draw when useful.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Keyboard and screen 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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
An example before you play
Waste queen accepts jack or king. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Where a round can go wrong
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
