Take a moment with Russian Solitaire before moving to another game. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Look at what changes after your first action. Read the objective before making your first input. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Build a steady rhythm
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the rule before repeating the action. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
