Know the goal in Pyramid Solitaire

Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. A clear plan starts with the current position. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Use another round to revisit a decision.
