Drag a card or a run onto a card 1 rank higher, or tap it and then tap the column.
How it works
- 104 cards in 10 columns. Build down by rank in any suit, but only a run of 1 suit moves as a block.
- A full run from king to ace in 1 suit clears off the table by itself.
- When every column has a card in it, deal 10 more from the stock, 1 on each.
- 1 suit is gentle, 2 is a real game, and 4 is for people who enjoy losing.
- Clear all 8 runs to win. The score starts at 500, each move costs 1, and each cleared run pays 100.
Controls
- Drag a card or a run onto where it goes.
- Or tap it, then tap the column it goes to; a double tap sends it to the best spot.
- U or the Undo button takes a move back; H shows a hint; D deals from the stock.
- With a keyboard: Tab to a card, Enter to pick it up, Enter on the column it goes to. N deals a new game.
Why the suit count changes everything
With 1 suit every card that fits by rank also fits by suit, so every stack you build can move as a block and most deals come out. With 2 suits, a red card on a black one is legal but freezes that part of the column until you take it apart again. With 4 suits that happens almost every move, and the empty column becomes the only real tool you have. Each suit count keeps its own best.
Dealing from the stock
The stock holds 5 deals of 10. Each one drops a card on every column, including the ones you were halfway through sorting, so it is worth building what you can before you deal. The stock refuses to deal while a column is empty: fill it with anything first. The game and your best stay in this browser.
