A guide to your next move.
The full four-suit game
Here is what to know. Four suits adds more suit conflicts without changing the basic descending-rank rule. Spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds each contain two copies of every rank. This game uses two complete decks for a total of 104 cards. The objective remains eight same-suit sequences from King to Ace.
Two things to check
Here is what to know. Matching colors are not enough to create a movable sequence. You can place an exposed card on a card exactly one rank higher even when their suits differ. Spades and clubs remain different suits even though both are shown in dark ink. A group can move together only when all selected cards share a suit and descend by one rank.
Build matching segments
Here is what to know. Joining two matching segments often frees a column or exposes another card. Small same-suit sequences can provide flexible building blocks. Before moving a segment, check where the cards below it could go next. A long mixed-suit build may require several intermediate destinations to dismantle.
Open the tableau
The starting layout contains hidden cards beneath the exposed bottom cards. Moving the final exposed card away turns the next hidden card face up. The identities of those hidden cards are not shown by the Hint feature. Opening columns gives you more information for later decisions.
Manage empty columns
The key details are straightforward. Moving a whole column to another empty column changes its position without improving the layout by itself. Spare columns can help separate suits that have become interleaved. An empty column accepts any exposed card or legal same-suit group. Consider which temporary arrangement leaves you with the most useful follow-up move.
Think about Kings
Here is what to know. A completed King-to-Ace run leaves the tableau automatically once all thirteen cards are face up and aligned. A same-suit group starting with a King follows that same destination rule. A King can move only to an empty column because no rank is higher. Moving a King into the only empty column can limit your ability to reorganize other cards.
Prepare for the stock
Keep these details in mind. You must fill every empty column before the stock can be used. A new row can interrupt promising groups as well as create new connections. Use the visible layout to plan before dealing, while recognizing that hidden stock cards are unknown. A stock deal places one card onto each of the ten columns.
Count complete runs
Here is what to know. The win message appears only after the game has collected all eight valid runs. Eight collected runs account for all 104 cards in the game. The counter advances whenever a full same-suit run is collected. A descending mixed-suit run remains on the table until its suits can be separated.
Practice a difficult deal
On this website, the following points apply. Undo restores the previous card arrangement, including automatic flips and completed runs. Hints list legal moves and do not solve the whole deal. A random deal is not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Replay begins the same shuffle again so you can compare a different opening plan.
Keep your session
On this website, the following points apply. The timer counts active visible play rather than time spent away from the page.
