Start with a difficulty
On this website, the following points apply. Every difficulty uses 104 cards and the same ten-column layout. Choose Play Spider for one suit, 2 Suits for spades and hearts, or 4 Suits for all four suits. Changing difficulty opens that mode's own saved game when local saving is enabled. One suit removes mixed-suit complications while you learn the controls.
Understand the layout
Keep these details in mind. Only the bottom card of each starting column is face up. 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. The stock holds fifty cards for five later deals of ten.
Make a single-card move
Keep these details in mind. Choose an exposed card and place it on an exposed card one rank higher. 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. A nine can move onto a ten, and a Jack can move onto a Queen.
Move several cards
Keep these details in mind. 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. A break in suit or rank means the entire selected group cannot move as a unit.
Expose a hidden card
On this website, the following points apply. 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. The newly revealed card may provide a useful destination or a new group to build.
A temporary workspace
Here is what to know. Fill all empty columns before dealing a new row from the stock. Any movable sequence can be placed into an empty column. A King cannot land on another card, so it needs an empty destination. Empty columns are useful for separating mixed suits and making hidden cards accessible.
Use the stock button
Keep these details in mind. Undo can restore the tableau and stock to their state before that deal. A deal is refused if any column is empty. Activate the stock button to add one face-up card to every column. A successful stock deal counts as one move in this game's counter.
Finish a sequence
On this website, the following points apply. 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. The game automatically removes that complete sequence. Collect eight qualifying sequences to win.
Tap, drag or use a keyboard
The key details are straightforward. Left and right arrow keys move focus between columns, and Escape clears a selection. Keyboard users can focus face-up cards and activate them with Enter or Space. The menu, stock and game controls also work with normal keyboard focus. Click or tap a movable card and then a destination column, or drag the selection directly.
Continue or restart
The key details are straightforward. Undo reverses recent successful actions while the stored undo history is available. Saving is local to this browser and difficulty, and can be disabled in Privacy & Cookie Settings. The Hint feature suggests a legal option without guaranteeing that the deal can be won. Replay starts the current shuffle again, while New game creates a fresh shuffle.
