Suit-aware sequencing is the core challenge.

Core thumb-and-pouch tips

• Always check suit conflicts before committing a descent move.
• Build long mixed-suit descending runs to maximize mobility.
• Use empty spaces as temporary buffers for suit-locked cards.
• Promote cards to foundations when they no longer help tableau movement.
• Before dealing stock, test all suit-safe tableau moves first.

Planning priority

Treat each move as a resource decision: protect mobility first, then push foundations when they do not close future options.

Common mistake

The most common mistake is forcing early foundation progress while tableau flexibility is still fragile.
