NOTES FROM THE TABLE

Start with a difficulty

Keep these details in mind. Choose Play Spider for one suit, 2 Suits for spades and hearts, or 4 Suits for all four suits. One suit removes mixed-suit complications while you learn the controls. Every difficulty uses 104 cards and the same ten-column layout. Changing difficulty opens that mode's own saved game when local saving is enabled.

Tableau and stock

On this website, the following points apply. Only the bottom card of each starting column is face up. 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. The stock holds fifty cards for five later deals of ten.

Place one rank lower

Here is what to know. 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. 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.

Select a legal sequence

The key details are straightforward. Select the highest card of the group you want to move. 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. A break in suit or rank means the entire selected group cannot move as a unit.

Turn the next card over

The key details are straightforward. 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. You do not need a separate flip action. Undoing the move restores the previous face-down state when appropriate.

Use empty columns

On this website, the following points apply. 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. Fill all empty columns before dealing a new row from the stock.

Use the stock button

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

Clear King through Ace

On this website, the following points apply. A mixed-suit sequence does not qualify even if every rank is present in descending order. The game automatically removes that complete sequence. 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.

Use the controls

The key details are straightforward. Click or tap a movable card and then a destination column, or drag the selection directly. 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. Left and right arrow keys move focus between columns, and Escape clears a selection.

Continue or restart

On this website, the following points apply. 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. The Hint feature suggests a legal option without guaranteeing that the deal can be won.
