Canfield Solitaire: how a round works
A clear plan starts with the current position. Complete four suited foundations beginning at the dealt base rank and wrapping king to ace. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
A focus for your next round
Begin with the objective. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Your objective

- Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.

The controls to know
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Use another round to revisit a decision. Use the rule sheet as a reference.

Where a round can go wrong
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Use another round to revisit a decision.
