Take a closer look while playing

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.

What you are aiming for

Remove all 35 tableau cards. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

Follow these playing steps

  1. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping.
  2. Click an exposed card or eligible pair to remove it.
  3. Draw when useful.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Controls

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

Follow the example

Waste queen accepts jack or king. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.

Keep this in mind

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
