4 Suits

The four-suit table makes each movable sequence valuable. Remember that a legal move is not always the most useful move.

The full four-suit game

Four suits adds more suit conflicts without changing the basic descending-rank rule. This game uses two complete decks for a total of 104 cards. The objective remains eight same-suit sequences from King to Ace. Spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds each contain two copies of every rank.

Two things to check

A group can move together only when all selected cards share a suit and descend by one rank. You can place an exposed card on a card exactly one rank higher even when their suits differ. Matching colors are not enough to create a movable sequence. Spades and clubs remain different suits even though both are shown in dark ink.

Preserve useful groups

Here is what to know. Small same-suit sequences can provide flexible building blocks. A long mixed-suit build may require several intermediate destinations to dismantle. Before moving a segment, check where the cards below it could go next. Joining two matching segments often frees a column or exposes another card.

Find hidden cards

Keep these details in mind. The starting layout contains hidden cards beneath the exposed bottom cards. Moving the final exposed card away turns the next hidden card face up. The identities of those hidden cards are not shown by the Hint feature. Opening columns gives you more information for later decisions.

Create working space

Moving a whole column to another empty column changes its position without improving the layout by itself. An empty column accepts any exposed card or legal same-suit group. Spare columns can help separate suits that have become interleaved. Consider which temporary arrangement leaves you with the most useful follow-up move.

Think about Kings

Keep these details in mind. A King can move only to an empty column because no rank is higher. A same-suit group starting with a King follows that same destination rule. Moving a King into the only empty column can limit your ability to reorganize other cards. A completed King-to-Ace run leaves the tableau automatically once all thirteen cards are face up and aligned.

Deal carefully

Keep these details in mind. A new row can interrupt promising groups as well as create new connections. You must fill every empty column before the stock can be used. Use the visible layout to plan before dealing, while recognizing that hidden stock cards are unknown. A stock deal places one card onto each of the ten columns.

Count complete runs

On this website, the following points apply. The counter advances whenever a full same-suit run is collected. A descending mixed-suit run remains on the table until its suits can be separated. The win message appears only after the game has collected all eight valid runs. Eight collected runs account for all 104 cards in the game.

Practice a difficult deal

The key details are straightforward. Undo restores the previous card arrangement, including automatic flips and completed runs. Hints list legal moves and do not solve the whole deal. Replay begins the same shuffle again so you can compare a different opening plan. A random deal is not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
