Pick a table
Here is what to know. Choose Play Spider for one suit, 2 Suits for spades and hearts, or 4 Suits for all four suits. Every difficulty uses 104 cards and the same ten-column layout. One suit removes mixed-suit complications while you learn the controls. Changing difficulty opens that mode's own saved game when local saving is enabled.
Understand the layout
The stock holds fifty cards for five later deals of ten. Six cards are dealt to each of the first four columns and five to each remaining column. The tableau begins with 54 cards in ten columns. Only the bottom card of each starting column is face up.
Make a single-card move
The key details are straightforward. A nine can move onto a ten, and a Jack can move onto a Queen. Suit does not restrict a single card's destination when the ranks fit. An empty column accepts any exposed card, including a King or Ace. Choose an exposed card and place it on an exposed card one rank higher.
Move several cards
On this website, the following points apply. A break in suit or rank means the entire selected group cannot move as a unit. A shorter valid segment at the bottom may still be moved separately. Cards move together only when they are face up, in one suit and descending by single ranks. Select the highest card of the group you want to move.
Turn the next card over
On this website, the following points apply. The newly revealed card may provide a useful destination or a new group to build. Undoing the move restores the previous face-down state when appropriate. Moving every face-up card away from a hidden card reveals that hidden card automatically. You do not need a separate flip action.
A temporary workspace
On this website, the following points apply. Empty columns are useful for separating mixed suits and making hidden cards accessible. Any movable sequence can be placed into an empty column. A King cannot land on another card, so it needs an empty destination. Fill all empty columns before dealing a new row from the stock.
Use the stock button
Keep these details in mind. A successful stock deal counts as one move in this game's counter. Activate the stock button to add one face-up card to every column. A deal is refused if any column is empty. Undo can restore the tableau and stock to their state before that deal.
Finish a sequence
Here is what to know. Collect eight qualifying sequences to win. The game automatically removes that complete sequence. A mixed-suit sequence does not qualify even if every rank is present in descending order. Arrange thirteen face-up cards of one suit from King down to Ace at the bottom of a column.
Tap, drag or use a keyboard
The key details are straightforward. Keyboard users can focus face-up cards and activate them with Enter or Space. Left and right arrow keys move focus between columns, and Escape clears a selection. Click or tap a movable card and then a destination column, or drag the selection directly. The menu, stock and game controls also work with normal keyboard focus.
Continue or restart
Saving is local to this browser and difficulty, and can be disabled in Privacy & Cookie Settings. Replay starts the current shuffle again, while New game creates a fresh shuffle. Undo reverses recent successful actions while the stored undo history is available. The Hint feature suggests a legal option without guaranteeing that the deal can be won.
