A few things you might be wondering
What is the main goal of Solitaire?
Move all 52 cards to the four foundation piles, building each suit from Ace to King.
Can any card fill an empty tableau column?
No. Only a King or a sequence that starts with a King can fill an empty tableau column.
Is Turn 1 easier than Turn 3?
Yes. Turn 1 reveals one stock card at a time, so more cards become playable sooner.
What if I make a mistake?
Use Undo when it is available to take back a move. Check the current mode’s rules for any effect on scoring or eligibility. Starting or restarting a game may replace your current progress.
