Use another round to revisit a decision. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
One face-up deck. Transfer capacity counts available cells and spare empty columns. Free solo play, no wagering.

- Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.

Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Work at your own pace.
An example before you play
With two empty cells and no spare empty column, a group of at most three cards can move together. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
A common point of confusion
Keep the active rule in mind. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Use another round to revisit a decision.
