Something to practise

Your objective
Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Work through the instructions
- Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone.
- Click an exposed card or eligible pair to remove it.
- Draw when useful.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.
See how the rules apply
An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
One detail worth checking
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
