Find your footing in Klondike Solitaire
A clear plan starts with the current position. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
