Pick a table

Here is what to know. Every difficulty uses 104 cards and the same ten-column layout. 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.

Tableau and stock

Keep these details in mind. Only the bottom card of each starting column is face up. 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.

Place one rank lower

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

Move several cards

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

Undoing the move restores the previous face-down state when appropriate. You do not need a separate flip action. The newly revealed card may provide a useful destination or a new group to build. Moving every face-up card away from a hidden card reveals that hidden card automatically.

Use empty columns

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. Any movable sequence can be placed into an empty column. A King cannot land on another card, so it needs an empty destination.

Deal another row

Here is what to know. A deal is refused if any column is empty. A successful stock deal counts as one move in this game's counter. Undo can restore the tableau and stock to their state before that deal. Activate the stock button to add one face-up card to every column.

Clear King through Ace

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. The game automatically removes that complete sequence. A mixed-suit sequence does not qualify even if every rank is present in descending order.

Use the controls

Here is what to know. 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. Keyboard users can focus face-up cards and activate them with Enter or Space.

Choose the next step

On this website, the following points apply. 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. Replay starts the current shuffle again, while New game creates a fresh shuffle.
