Klondike Solitaire: from controls to your first round

Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Begin with the objective. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.

A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Pay attention to this rule

A clear plan starts with the current position. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
