How a round unfolds
- Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns.

- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Work through an example
The trailing cards may be unordered, but the destination suit and rank must match. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
