How to play Sea Towers Solitaire

Learn the layout, legal moves and winning objective, then use the practical strategy notes to make stronger decisions from the opening deal.

Sea Towers Solitaire at a glance

Ten compact columns, four reserve cells, and a same-suit puzzle laid out in full.

Two reserve cells are already occupied. Work to clear one while keeping a King available: a cleared column is useful only if a King can claim it, and tableau cards must descend in suit.

Rules and objective

  1. Ten columns hold five face-up cards each. The two middle cells start occupied; the outer two start empty.
  2. Build tableau columns down in the same suit. Only Kings fill empty columns.
  3. Move one exposed card at a time. Each cell holds one card.
  4. Build four foundations from Ace to King in suit. Move all 52 cards there 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

Use the cells to reach buried cards, and reserve empty columns for Kings.

Treat cells as a scarce resource

Two cells begin occupied, leaving just two free. Return cell cards to useful places before parking more exposed cards.

Find a King before clearing

Only Kings may start an empty column. A cleared column helps most when a King can immediately use it to release other cards.

Frequently asked questions

Which cells are empty at the start?

The outer two cells are empty; the middle two each hold a card.

What card can fill an empty column?

Only a King. Other exposed cards need a same-suit card one rank higher or an empty cell.
