Rules and objective
- Seven columns hold seven cards each. The first three cards in each of the first four columns start face down.
- Build down in the same suit. Move any face-up card together with everything below it, even an unordered group.
- Only a King or a King-led group can fill an empty column. Exposed hidden cards turn over automatically.
- Tap the reserve once to deal its three cards onto the first three columns.
- Complete a same-suit King-to-Ace run to send it to a finished slot. Finish all four suits to win.
The table enforces legal moves and saves the current deal in this browser. Hints identify a move that is available now; they do not guarantee that the deal can still be won.
Strategy: how to play better
First priority
Prioritize uncovering hidden cards. Save the reserve until its extra cards can help unblock the tableau.
Use the loose-group move carefully
You may move an unordered tail by grabbing a face-up card, but the card at its head must still fit the destination in the same suit. Check what the move exposes underneath.
Plan for King-only spaces
Clearing a column helps only when a King or King-led group can use it. Identify that group before spending moves to create the gap.
Frequently asked questions
Can I move an unfinished sequence?
Yes, provided its leading card fits the destination.
Can every deal be won?
Deals are randomly shuffled, so a win is not guaranteed. Use undo to explore another approach, restart the same deal, or try a new shuffle.
