One way to understand the rules
With base rank 5, a foundation runs 5 through king, then ace through 4. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Watch out for this
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
