Quick winning principles
- Keep at least two free cells open during midgame.
- Plan king moves by working backward from the target column.
- Clear a column before moving a deep stack across the board.
- Build aces to foundations aggressively when cells are tight.
Ideal strategy
- 1
Free cells are a budget, not storage. Each occupied cell reduces maximum stack depth you can move by one — treat empty cells as tempo.
- 2
Before moving a long sequence, simulate the reverse: which cards must land in cells temporarily, and can you recover them?
- 3
Empty columns beat empty cells. A cleared column moves entire king stacks; prioritize column clears over cautious single-card shuffles.
- 4
Avoid burying low cards under kings in the tableau. If a 3 sits above a queen stack, solve that inversion before dealing with new builds.
- 5
Foundation ascension timing: moving a 5 to foundations may block a needed 4 transfer — count supermove capacity before auto-playing up.
