Pick a table

Here is what to know. One suit removes mixed-suit complications while you learn the controls. 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. Every difficulty uses 104 cards and the same ten-column layout.

Understand the layout

Keep these details in mind. The stock holds fifty cards for five later deals of ten. The tableau begins with 54 cards in ten columns. Six cards are dealt to each of the first four columns and five to each remaining column. Only the bottom card of each starting column is face up.

Place one rank lower

Keep these details in mind. Suit does not restrict a single card's destination when the ranks fit. A nine can move onto a ten, and a Jack can move onto a Queen. Choose an exposed card and place it on an exposed card one rank higher. An empty column accepts any exposed card, including a King or Ace.

Select a legal sequence

On this website, the following points apply. A break in suit or rank means the entire selected group cannot move as a unit. Select the highest card of the group you want to move. Cards move together only when they are face up, in one suit and descending by single ranks. A shorter valid segment at the bottom may still be moved separately.

Expose a hidden card

The key details are straightforward. 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

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. Empty columns are useful for separating mixed suits and making hidden cards accessible.

Deal another row

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. Arrange thirteen face-up cards of one suit from King down to Ace at the bottom of a column. A mixed-suit sequence does not qualify even if every rank is present in descending order. The game automatically removes that complete sequence.

Use the controls

Here is what to know. Click or tap a movable card and then a destination column, or drag the selection directly. 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.

Choose the next step

Keep these details in mind. 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. The Hint feature suggests a legal option without guaranteeing that the deal can be won. Undo reverses recent successful actions while the stored undo history is available.
