Find the Aces first.

Find the Aces first

The foundations are empty at the start. Expose Aces by moving tableau tops, then build by suit through the unusual Ace-to-Seven jump. A visible Seven is useful only when an Ace of the same suit is already in a foundation.

Because all cards are face up, inspect the buried sequence in every column before clearing a top card.

Make open columns count

Only a single tableau top moves at a time, and builds descend in alternating colors. An empty column accepts any card, giving you a temporary place to lift an obstruction.

Avoid filling that space with a card that has no follow-up. A good temporary move exposes an Ace or a foundation-ready rank beneath it.

Reshuffle at a real standstill

When no useful tableau or foundation move remains, gather and reshuffle the tableau. Two reshuffles that follow actual moves count against the limit; an unchanged deal is not charged.

Use the entire visible layout before reshuffling. A reshuffle can rescue a blocked game, but it also breaks arrangements you prepared.

Review the tableau before a shuffle

Because all 64 cards are face up, the tableau shows exactly which ranks are buried. Check each column from top to bottom and identify the card that blocks the next foundation rank in every suit.

An empty column can hold any tableau top. Use that freedom to lift a blocker, then try to play the exposed card to a foundation. Moving a card between occupied columns is useful only when it clears something beneath it.

A reshuffle rearranges all remaining tableau cards. Treat it as a fresh puzzle with the same foundation progress. Before using one of the two counted reshuffles, make sure no useful single-card transfer remains.
